Export Selected: Distorted projection for some shapefiles #91

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Using GeoDa 1.5.26

1) Download the Statistics Canada 2011 Census Subdivision Shapefile: 
http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/geo/bound-limit/files-fichier
s/gcsd000b11a_e.zip

2) Open shapefile and select all observations for one province, for example 
Alberta.

3) Export Selected for single province to either shapefile or some OGR format.

4) Open subset and notice that province is very distorted from the original

The first image shows the original shapefile.  The highlighted area is the 
province of Alberta.  The second file shows the result of exporting the 
highlighted area.

For comparison, here is the same file in GML format.  Notice that exporting a 
subset of this doesn't result in distortion:
