What is N,Y,Z and how does it relate to SA?
- nitrogen 16y agoA Google search for "n e z coordinates" revealed that N stands for north or northings, E stands for east or eastings. Basically, it looks like they just swap X and Y.
- joubert 16y agoI'm South African and I've never seen that used. Perhaps it is by people in a particular industry?
- fghjkoi8uygt 16y agoSouth Africa has a novel coordinate system, at least for people who expect North to be at the top and east on the X axis.
- fghjkoi8uygt 16y agoYes just a simple swap, except every dialog, grid control, status bar and tooltip has to keep track of which way round they are.
- nitrogen 16y agoI didn't mean to say it would be easy to support in any given software package :)
