This variation of Hotine produces rectified Cartesian coordinates. Its origin is the intersection of the central geodesic and the equator of the aposphere. It is retained primarily for historical purposes as it is rarely ever used.
To remain consistent with prior releases, this type uses the same rectification technique as the Alaska variation.

Parameter Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
PARM1 |
The longitude, in degrees, of the first point on the central geodesic. |
|
PARM2 |
The latitude, in degrees, of the first point on the central geodesic. |
|
PARM3 |
The longitude, in degrees, of the second point on the central geodesic. |
|
PARM4 |
The latitude, in degrees, of the second point on the central geodesic. |
|
ORG_LAT |
The latitude, in degrees, of the center of the coordinate system being defined. That is, the point on the central geodesic which has this latitude is the natural origin of the projection. |
|
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. |
