Calculate the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system zone

Description

Calculates the UTM zone for the specified data and returns a UTM code for WGS84 (i.e. 32612, 32614). This function is performed in the ManageParms class to store the UTM zone for the farm. A shapefile is passed in with the 'FILE' argument, the spatial data is used to determine the UTM zone mathematically, same if the 'bounds' argument is used. The returned value is the UTM EPSG code for the WGS84 datum.

Usage

calcUTMzone(FILE)

Arguments

FILE	Spatial shapefile for determining UTM zone.

Value

WGS84 UTM code (i.e. 32612, 32614).
