LM-WCCS: Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, Wisconsin County Variation
This is a minor variation to the traditional Two Standard Parallel projection version. It supports the Wisconsin County Coordinate System group of coordinate systems. This variation uses a parallel ellipsoid technique to adjust horizontal coordinates for average elevation of the region being mapped.

Parameter Name |
Description |
|
PARM1 |
Latitude, in degrees, of the first standard parallel, usually the northernmost. For this projection, there is no distinction between the northern and southern standard parallels; that is, they can be switched with no effect. |
|
PARM2 |
Latitude, in degrees, of the second standard parallel, usually the southernmost. This parameter is sometimes set to the same value as PARM1 to obtain a conic with a single point of tangency, that is, a single standard parallel. |
|
PARM3 |
Average geoid separation in metres of the region being mapped. |
|
PARM4 |
Average elevation above the geoid (that is orthometric height) in system units of the region being mapped. |
|
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. |
