Projection Class

This class encapsulates the projection of the CRS. The projection relies on a projection method and a set of projection parameters specific to projection method selected to flatten the surface of the model of the Earth defines as a geodetic ellipsoid. The flattening and the distortion angular, linear, scale from the process varies between methods. Refer to appropriate external documentation for details.

@note Various property sets are required for specific projection methods. The current class implementation does not enforce these rules yet and it is possible to define or not define any property regardless the method used.
