BIPOLAR : Projection conique conforme oblique bipolaire (Bipolar Oblique Conformal Conic)

This projection is usually used only for the specific coordinate system for which it was invented. However, to remain consistent with the rest of the projections, the following parameters can be specified.

These parameters specify the location of the two poles upon which the projection is based. The first is always specified by latitude and longitude. The latitude of the second pole must always be specified. However the longitude of the second pole can either be specified directly (PARM3) or as an angular distance from the first pole (PARM5). If PARM5 is greater than zero, the second method is used. The parameter values usually used are shown in bold.

Nom de paramètre

Description

PARM1

Longitude, in degrees, of the first pole (usually the southwest). [-110.0]

PARM2

Latitude, in degrees, of the first pole. [-20.0]

PARM3

Longitude, in degrees, of the second pole (usually the north­east). [-19.9933333333]

PARM4

Latitude, in degrees, of the second pole. [+45.0]

PARM5

S'il est supérieur à zéro, cette valeur est considérée comme étant la distance angulaire, en degrés, du premier pôle au second pôle et la longitude du second pôle est calculée ainsi.

If this value is zero, the value provided in PARM3 is considered the longitude of the second pole. [+=104.0]

PARM6

Angular distance, in degrees, from either pole to the first of two standard parallels. [+31.0]

PARM7

Angular distance, in degrees, from either pole to the second of two standard parallels. [+73.0]

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. [0.0]

Y_OFF

The false northing to be applied to all Y coordinates. [0.0]
