Parameters¶

Note

All parameters are optional for the Krovak projection.

The latitude of pseudo standard parallel is hardcoded to 78.5° and the ellipsoid to Bessel.

+czech¶: Reverse the sign of the output coordinates, as is tradition in the Czech Republic.

+lon_0=<value>¶

Longitude of projection center.

Defaults to 24°50' (24.8333333333333)

+lat_0=<value>¶

Latitude of projection center.

Defaults to 49.5

+k_0=<value>¶

Scale factor. Determines scale factor used in the projection.

Defaults to 0.9999

+x_0=<value>¶

False easting, easting at false origin or easting at projection centre (naming and meaning depend on the projection method). Always in meters.

Defaults to 0.0.

+y_0=<value>¶

False northing, northing at false origin or northing at projection centre (naming and meaning depend on the projection method). Always in meters.

Defaults to 0.0.
