OSTEROUS: Oblique Stereographic Projection (Snyder)

This projection uses the Snyder (USA) algorithms to implement the Stereographic projection

Parameter Name

Description

ORG_LNG

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

ORG_LAT

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

SCL_RED

The value of this parameter indicates the desired projection scale at the origin point; that is, the degree by which the projection plane is pushed inside the earth.

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. This value is the X coordinate of the coordinate system origin.

Y_OFF

The false northing to be applied to all Y coordinates. This value is the Y coordinate of the coordinate system origin.
