Projection : Lambert Conformal Conic (1 Standard Parallel)
General class : conic
Characteristics: conformal
: rectangular coordinates (U.S.A.; France)
Earth model : ellipsoid or sphere
Defining the MAPUNITS:
MapUnits "lcc_1sp" ! Standard name MapUnits "lcc_1sp e0" ! Standard name and ellipsoid
Other parameters:
TrueOriginLongitude "central_meridian" ! Required, for True origin TrueOriginLatitude "latitude_of_origin" ! Required, for True origin Scale "scale_at_center" ! Optional, default is one FalseEasting "false_easting" ! Optional, default is zero FalseNorthing "false_northing" ! Optional, default is zero
LCC_1SP uses one Standard Parallel and a Scale factor. (Actually it uses the Latitude of Origin as the one Standard Parallel.) Whereas LCC uses two Standard Parallels and a Latitude of Origin (and no Scale factor).
Possible errors:
E332, "Equal latitudes for st. parallels on opposite sides of
equator" - Error occurred in initializing the projection
E334, "Point cannot be projected" - In converting from
geographic coordinates to projection coordinates, the
point projects into infinity
