This variation of the Transverse Mercator projection is based on the algorithms of J.P. Snyder. This should not be used unless these algorithms are required — normally the TM projection should be used instead.

Parameter Name

Description

PARM1

Longitude, in degrees, of the central meridian.

ORG_LAT

Latitude, in degrees, of the origin of the projection.

SCL_RED

The scale reduction to be applied. This is also referred to as the scale of the central meridian.

MAP_SCL

The scale of the coordinate system. This one factor must include the conversion from metres to coordinate system units, and the mapping scale to be applied. This factor is ignored during com­putation.

X_OFF

The false easting to be applied to all X coordinates, 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.
