Projection : General Vertical Near-Side Perspective General class : azimuthal Characteristics: neither conformal nor equal-area Earth model : sphere
Defining the MAPUNITS:
MapUnits "gvnp" ! Standard name MapUnits "gvnp e19" ! Standard name and ellipsoid
Other parameters:
TrueOriginLongitude "longitude_of_origin" ! Required, for True origin
TrueOriginLatitude "latitude_of_origin" ! Required, for True origin
FalseEasting "false_easting" ! Optional, default is zero
FalseNorthing "false_northing" ! Optional, default is zero
Height "height_of_perspective" ! Usually defined,
! if defaulted is zero
Possible errors:
E334, "Point cannot be projected" - In converting from
geographic coordinates to projection coordinates, the point
cannot be projected.
E100, "Invalid data" - In converting from projection coordinates
to geographic coordinates, there was an input data error
