Transverse Mercator Map Projection | |
The following elements comprise the Transverse Mercator Map Projection section: |
|
![]() |
|
Scale Factor at Central Meridian, mandatory a multiplier for reducing a distance obtained from a map by computation or scaling to the actual distance along the central meridian. |
|
Longitude of Central Meridian, mandatory the line of longitude at the center of a map projection generally used as the basis for constructing the projection. |
|
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. |
