[mapserver-users] Coordinate transformation in Java (latlong to LCC)

[Jean-Francois.Doyon at ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca]

Hello,

I once upon a time fumbled upon a SWIG interface for PROJ.4 ... It was
written for use with SWIG/Python, but maybe you could fairly easily use it
to generate a Java interface ? Find it attached.

Good luck!
J.F.

Jan-

Here's a class that will do it using the equations per Snyder's Handbook (as
seen
in GCTP).   Although I did not write the snipet (I can put you in contact
with the
original author offline if needed), I have used it routinely in a Java
applet. You
will see comments in the code describing the inputs (XY) and a parameter
array
which identifies the SP1,2 , ellipsoid, etc.
