Description

If I add a MapInfo layer with the (buildt-in) projection EPGS:25832 (UTM32N/ETRS89) it will be assigned a wrong SRS: (properties window)
"
General:
Storage type of this layer: MapInfo File
Source for this layer: C:\\Users\\Bo Victor Thomsen\\epsg25832_sample.TAB
Geometry type of the features in this layer: Polygon
The number of features in this layer: 1
Editing capabilities of this layer: Add Attributes, Fast Access to Features at ID
Extents:
In layer spatial reference system units : xMin,yMin 709652.83,6216521.31 : xMax,yMax 709888.95,6216762.80
Layer Spatial Reference System:
+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,-0,-0,-0,0 +units=m +no_defs
"
The SRS is wrong:
+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,-0,-0,-0,0 +units=m +no_defs

It should be:
+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs

(minus zero ??)

You can almost double the redraw speed for the layer by changing the SRS to the correct value.
My tabfile contains ca. 70.000 polygons. It takes 22 sec. to redraw with the correct SRS versus 37 sec. with the wrong SRS.
My platform is QGIS 1.8, Windows 7 64 bit.
I've added a small sample with 1 polygon

is this a regression? it used to work fine on 1.7.x?

#2 Updated by Bo Victor Thomsen almost 12 years ago

I've just reinstalled QGIS 1.7.4. It exhibits the same behaviour with the tab layer:
...
General:
Storage type of this layer: MapInfo File
Source for this layer: C:\\GisData\\NyeData\\LitraPolygoner.TAB
Geometry type of the features in this layer: Polygon
The number of features in this layer: 71424

No regression but an old error

Seems to be an issue at the ogr level. Result from ogrinfo -so -al

I agree with Nathan. It's a OGR or Mitab problem. I'll open a ticket at GDAL.
