QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS Define Shapefile projection (qgis:definecurrentprojection). Changes a Shapefile's projection to a new CRS without reprojecting features This algorithm sets an existing Shapefile's projection to the provided CRS. Contrary to the "Assign projection" algorithm, it will not output a new layer. The .prj and .qpj files associated with the Shapefile will be overwritten - or created if missing - to match the provided CRS.

)

Arguments

INPUT

vector - Input Shapefile. Path to a vector layer.

CRS

crs - CRS. CRS as an auth ID (e.g. 'EPSG:3111'). CRS as a PROJ4 string (e.g. 'PROJ4:…'). CRS as a WKT string (e.g. 'WKT:…'). Path to a layer. The CRS of the layer is used..

further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()

.complete_output

logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.

.quiet

logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.

.messages

logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
