Projection : Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area Also known as : Zenithal Equal-Area General class : azimuthal Characteristics: equal-area Earth model : sphere
Defining the MAPUNITS:
MapUnits "laea" ! Standard name MapUnits "laea 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
Possible errors:
E335, "Point projects into a circle" - In converting from
geographic coordinates to projection coordinates, the
point projects into a circle.
E100, "Invalid data" - In converting from projection coordinates
to geographic coordinates, there was an input data error
