LMBLGN: Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, Belgian Variation
This minor variation to the traditional Two Standard Parallel projection version produces results needed by some Belgian coordinate systems.
Parameter Name |
Description |
PARM1 |
Latitude, in degrees, of the first standard parallel, usually the northernmost. There is no distinction between the northern and southern standard parallels; i.e., they can be switched with no effect. |
PARM2 |
Latitude, in degrees, of the second standard parallel, usually the southernmost. This is sometimes the same as PARM1, used to obtain a conic with a single point of tangency. |
ORG_LNG |
The longitude, in degrees, of the origin of the projection. |
ORG_LAT |
The latitude, in degrees, of the origin of the projection. |
MAP_SCL |
Used only when defining a coordinate system that is to produce measurements on a scaled paper map. This value is the scale of the map, e.g., 100,000. Normally, this value is set to 1.0. |
X_OFF |
The false easting to be applied to all X coordinates, usually selected to cause all X coordinates within the coordinate system to be positive values of reasonable size. |
Y_OFF |
The false northing to be applied to all Y coordinates. |
