TMAF: Transverse Mercator (Gauss/Kruger) with Affine Post Process

This variation of the Transverse Mercator projection adds an Affine Transformation Post Processor to the normal Transverse Mercator (Gauss/Kruger) algorithm. This variation was specifically added for the National Survey of Sweden.

The Affine Transformation requires six parameters, and these are carried in coordinate system definitions as PARM2 through PARM7. The post processor uses an affine transformation defined as follows:

Xnew = A0 + A1 * Xold + A2 * Yold

Ynew = B0 + B1 * Xold + B2 * Yold

Note that in order for the inverse to function properly, the following condition is not allowed:

A1 * B2 == A2 * B1

Also note that by setting B2 equal to A1, and B1 equal to the complement of A2, one can obtain the Helmert or Similarity Transformation.
