[Geowanking] ESRI Shapefile pdf document

[Gagan]

Hello All,

New Year Greetings to Everyone...
I was crunching some numbers after reading this article
http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf
Everything fits perfectly fine except one thing ....

In the article it states


This turns out to be coordinates for Jefferson city.

cdcc cccc cc05 57c0 – X

Since it is in little endian format so it becomes c05705ccccccccdc which is
-92.09

cdcc cccc cc4c 4340 - Y

Since it is in little endian format so it becomes 4043 4ccc cccc ccdc which
is 38.60

I cant seem to figure out how is the conversion of HEX is done to X and Y
coordinates.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
