Oblique Mercator Map Projection

The following elements comprise the Oblique Mercator Map Projection section:






Scale Factor at Center Line
, mandatory
a multiplier for reducing a distance obtained from a map by computation or scaling to the actual distance along the center line.

One of the following:

   Oblique Line Azimuth, mandatory
method used to describe the line along which an oblique mercator map projection is centered using the map projection origin and an azimuth.
   Oblique Line Point, mandatory
method used to describe the line along which an oblique mercator map projection is centered using two points near the limits of the mapped region that define the center line.

Latitude of Projection Origin, mandatory
latitude chosen as the origin of rectangular coordinates for a map projection.
False Easting, mandatory
the value added to all "x" values in the rectangular coordinates for a map projection. This value frequently is assigned to eliminate negative numbers. Expressed in the unit of measure identified in Planar Coordinate Units.
False Northing, mandatory
the value added to all "y" values in the rectangular coordinates for a map projection. This value frequently is assigned to eliminate negative numbers. Expressed in the unit of measure identified in Planar Coordinate Units.
