[Proj] apply plane rotation after transverse Mercator projection

[Mikael Rittri]

The Rosenmund projection is called +proj=somerc (Swiss Oblique Mercator),
but I don't see why that should be better than the RSO (+proj=omerc) for this purpose.

I don't think there is any built-in support in Proj.4 to do an arbitrary rotation of the projected plane.
However, if you just need to rotate 90, 180 or 270 degrees, then you could perhaps use the +axis parameter.

Best regards,

I don't know if PROJ4 has it, but the Rosenmund projection as used in Switzerland sounds like what you want.

Hi,

I would like to design a projection that is similar to a TM projection except append the parameter "XY_Plane_Rotation", i.e. rotate the XY axes.  Is this possible to do in PROJ4?  I note the tmerc doesn't have an alpha parameter or similar.  I already tried using RSO but it's overkill for what I want to do, all I want to do is apply a simple cartesian rotation to the projected XY axes.

Another thing I tried was editing a PRJ file for a TM projected data and then appending "PARAMETER["XY_Plane_Rotation",XX]" to the file but that doesn't seem to work.

Do I have to define a custom PROJCS that is based on tmerc but allows for the XY_Plane_Rotation parameter?

Any suggestions gratefully would be (very) gratefully received as I have been trying to do this supposedly simple thing all week.

Regards,

Garret
