Detailed Description

Albers equal area conic projection.

Implementation taken from the report,

J. P. Snyder, Map Projections: A Working Manual, USGS Professional Paper 1395 (1987), pp. 101–102.

This is a implementation of the equations in Snyder except that divided differences will be [have been] used to transform the expressions into ones which may be evaluated accurately. [In this implementation, the projection correctly becomes the cylindrical equal area or the azimuthal equal area projection when the standard latitude is the equator or a pole.]

The ellipsoid parameters, the standard parallels, and the scale on the standard parallels are set in the constructor. Internally, the case with two standard parallels is converted into a single standard parallel, the latitude of minimum azimuthal scale, with an azimuthal scale specified on this parallel. This latitude is also used as the latitude of origin which is returned by AlbersEqualArea::OriginLatitude. The azimuthal scale on the latitude of origin is given by AlbersEqualArea::CentralScale. The case with two standard parallels at opposite poles is singular and is disallowed. The central meridian (which is a trivial shift of the longitude) is specified as the lon0 argument of the AlbersEqualArea::Forward and AlbersEqualArea::Reverse functions. AlbersEqualArea::Forward and AlbersEqualArea::Reverse also return the meridian convergence, γ, and azimuthal scale, k. A small square aligned with the cardinal directions is projected to a rectangle with dimensions k (in the E-W direction) and 1/k (in the N-S direction). The E-W sides of the rectangle are oriented γ degrees counter-clockwise from the x axis. There is no provision in this class for specifying a false easting or false northing or a different latitude of origin.

Example of use:

// Example of using the GeographicLib::AlbersEqualArea class
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
#include <GeographicLib/AlbersEqualArea.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace GeographicLib;
int main() {
  try {
   const double
     a = Constants::WGS84_a(),
     f = Constants::WGS84_f(),
     lat1 = 40 + 58/60.0, lat2 = 39 + 56/60.0, // standard parallels
     k1 = 1,                                   // scale
     lon0 = -77 - 45/60.0;                     // Central meridian
   // Set up basic projection
   const AlbersEqualArea albers(a, f, lat1, lat2, k1);
   {
     // Sample conversion from geodetic to Albers Equal Area
     double lat = 39.95, lon = -75.17;    // Philadelphia
     double x, y;
     albers.Forward(lon0, lat, lon, x, y);
     cout << x << " " << y << "\n";
   }
   {
     // Sample conversion from Albers Equal Area grid to geodetic
     double x = 220e3, y = -53e3;
     double lat, lon;
     albers.Reverse(lon0, x, y, lat, lon);
     cout << lat << " " << lon << "\n";
   }
  }
  catch (const exception& e) {
    cerr << "Caught exception: " << e.what() << "\n";
    return 1;
  }
}

ConicProj is a command-line utility providing access to the functionality of LambertConformalConic and AlbersEqualArea.

◆ AlbersEqualArea() [1/3]

GeographicLib::AlbersEqualArea::AlbersEqualArea	(	real	a,
		real	f,
		real	stdlat,
		real	k0
	)

Constructor with a single standard parallel.

Parameters

[in]	a	equatorial radius of ellipsoid (meters).
[in]	f	flattening of ellipsoid. Setting f = 0 gives a sphere. Negative f gives a prolate ellipsoid.
[in]	stdlat	standard parallel (degrees), the circle of tangency.
[in]	k0	azimuthal scale on the standard parallel.

Exceptions

GeographicErr	if a, (1 − f) a, or k0 is not positive.
GeographicErr	if stdlat is not in [−90°, 90°].

Definition at line 21 of file src/AlbersEqualArea.cpp.

◆ AlbersEqualArea() [2/3]

GeographicLib::AlbersEqualArea::AlbersEqualArea	(	real	a,
		real	f,
		real	stdlat1,
		real	stdlat2,
		real	k1
	)

Constructor with two standard parallels.

Parameters

[in]	a	equatorial radius of ellipsoid (meters).
[in]	f	flattening of ellipsoid. Setting f = 0 gives a sphere. Negative f gives a prolate ellipsoid.
[in]	stdlat1	first standard parallel (degrees).
[in]	stdlat2	second standard parallel (degrees).
[in]	k1	azimuthal scale on the standard parallels.

Exceptions

GeographicErr	if a, (1 − f) a, or k1 is not positive.
GeographicErr	if stdlat1 or stdlat2 is not in [−90°, 90°], or if stdlat1 and stdlat2 are opposite poles.

Definition at line 49 of file src/AlbersEqualArea.cpp.

◆ AlbersEqualArea() [3/3]

GeographicLib::AlbersEqualArea::AlbersEqualArea	(	real	a,
		real	f,
		real	sinlat1,
		real	coslat1,
		real	sinlat2,
		real	coslat2,
		real	k1
	)

Constructor with two standard parallels specified by sines and cosines.

Parameters

[in]	a	equatorial radius of ellipsoid (meters).
[in]	f	flattening of ellipsoid. Setting f = 0 gives a sphere. Negative f gives a prolate ellipsoid.
[in]	sinlat1	sine of first standard parallel.
[in]	coslat1	cosine of first standard parallel.
[in]	sinlat2	sine of second standard parallel.
[in]	coslat2	cosine of second standard parallel.
[in]	k1	azimuthal scale on the standard parallels.

Exceptions

GeographicErr	if a, (1 − f) a, or k1 is not positive.
GeographicErr	if stdlat1 or stdlat2 is not in [−90°, 90°], or if stdlat1 and stdlat2 are opposite poles.

This allows parallels close to the poles to be specified accurately. This routine computes the latitude of origin and the azimuthal scale at this latitude. If dlat = abs(lat2 − lat1) ≤ 160°, then the error in the latitude of origin is less than 4.5 × 10⁻¹⁴d;.
