LMBLGN: Lambert Conformal Conic Projection, Belgian Variation

This minor variation to the traditional Two Standard Parallel projection version produces results needed by some Belgian coordinate systems.

Parameter Name

Description

PARM1

Latitude, in degrees, of the first standard parallel (usually the northernmost).

For this projection, there is no distinction between the northern (PARM1) and southern (PARM2) standard parallels; that is, they can be switched with no effect.

PARM2

Latitude, in degrees, of the second standard parallel (usually the southernmost).

This parameter is sometimes set to the same value as PARM1 to obtain a conic with a single point of tangency, that is, a single standard parallel.

ORG_LNG

The longitude, in degrees, of the origin of the projection.

ORG_LAT

The latitude, in degrees, of the 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.
