Projection : Equidistant Conic Also known as : Simple Conic or Conic General class : conic Characteristics: equidistant Earth model : ellipsoid or sphere
Defining the MAPUNITS (Format A or B):
MapUnits "ec" ! Standard name MapUnits "ec e0" ! Standard name and ellipsoid
Other parameters (Format A, one standard parallel):
TrueOriginLongitude "central_meridian" ! Required, for True origin TrueOriginLatitude "latitude_of_origin" ! Required, for True origin 1stStandardParallel "1st_standard_parallel" ! Required FalseEasting "false_easting" ! Optional, default is zero FalseNorthing "false_northing" ! Optional, default is zero
Other parameters (Format B, two standard parallels):
TrueOriginLongitude "central_meridian" ! Required, for True origin TrueOriginLatitude "latitude_of_origin" ! Required, for True origin 1stStandardParallel "1st_standard_parallel" ! Required 2ndStandardParallel "2nd_standard_parallel" ! Required FalseEasting "false_easting" ! Optional, default is zero FalseNorthing "false_northing" ! Optional, default is zero
Possible errors:
E332, "Equal latitudes for st. parallels on opposite sides of
equator " - Error occurred in initializing the projection.
