Description

Hi,

My custom CRS' that use oblique mercator no longer render properly in 2.14. Some layers are rotated properly, others are not, and others are missing. Also, rendering would normally take 2-5 seconds in v2.10 but now it can take 10s of minutes - making them unusable. "Normal" CRS' provided by the program work fine. Here's one of my CRS' for example:

+proj=omerc +lat_0=53.155728 +lonc=-117.171755 +alpha=-44.25 +gamma=0 +k_0=1.00064458 +x_0=0 +y_0=0+ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

And another from http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/83861/using-customized-coordinate-system-for-archaeological-site-data that also no longer works:
+proj=omerc +lat_0=51.4 +lonc=7 +alpha=-10 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +gamma=0 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

Quickly switching between my custom CRS and NAD83 also causes QGIS to freeze and eventually a force quit.

QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::setProj4String(): harden validation

OSRImportFromProj4() may accept strings that are not valid proj.4 strings,
e.g if they lack a +ellps parameter, it will automatically add +ellps=WGS84, but as
we use the original mProj4 with QgsCoordinateTransform, it will fail to initialize
so better detect it now.

Sample project attached. Used QConsolidate plugin. Thanks for your attention.

Thanks or the project:

I'm opening it in QGIS 2.14.3 and I notice that is missing qiute a lot of layers.
Not sure if it is for this reason, bt the project opens fine (with the provided layers), navigation zoom in/out is also ok, styling, labels, etc.

Could you please describe what would be the issue in the provided project?

Thanks!

#5 Updated by Matt Dallaire about 8 years ago

I removed all the large layers due to the 5MB file upload restriction.

Change the project CRS to:
+proj=omerc +lat_0=53.155728 +lonc=-117.171755 +alpha=-44.25 +gamma=0 +k_0=1.00064458 +x_0=0 +y_0=0+ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

Notice the layers are now being rendered in varying ways. For example, "CVM Grid" (ESPG:26911) does not change position or rotate, "083C_water_c_l" (ESPG:4269) moves toward the origin, and "RT Mine Footprint" (custom projection) actually is the only layer that projects correctly - probably because it matches the above CRS string. It almost seems like OTF projection is not working, in my opinion.

This was not an issue in recent previous releases.

Cheers,

  • Crashes QGIS or corrupts data changed from Yes to No
  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.14.2 to 2.14.3

I see. Tagging as regression.

The issue with "+proj=omerc +lat_0=53.155728 +lonc=-117.171755 +alpha=-44.25 +gamma=0 +k_0=1.00064458 +x_0=0 +y_0=0+ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs" is a missing space before +ellps. Addressed by https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3217

I didn't notice issues with "+proj=omerc +lat_0=51.4 +lonc=7 +alpha=-10 +k=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +gamma=0 +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs"
