<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">How do I change the radius of the (spherical) Earth in proj.4? I'm using the proj.4 string:<br>
<br>
" +proj=laea +lon_0=-40.000000 +lat_0=74.000000 +x_0=1000000 +y_0=1700000 +ellps=sphere"<br>
<br>
..and have discovered that proj.4 assumes a radius of exactly 6370997m (from pj_ellps.c):<br>
<br>
"sphere", "a=6370997.0", "b=6370997.0", "Normal Sphere (r=6370997)",<br>
<br>
We are running code on a spherical Earth, with a radius (slightly) different from that above. For consistency sake, proj.4 will need to use the same Earth radius as the code that calls it. How do I set up a projection on a spherical Earth with a custom radius?<br>
<br>
Also... if someone wanted to use proj.4 for mapping on Mars, how would they do that?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
