Description |
|
PARM1 |
Longitude, in degrees, of the central meridian of the coordinate system (or map). |
|
SCL_RED |
The scale reduction factor to be used. |
|
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. |
