[Mapserver-users] Lambert Projection for Europe

[Maul, Andreas-Alexander]

Steffen,
You can find the parameter list for the Lambert Conformal Conic
Projection (lcc) at
http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/lambert_conic_conformal_2
sp.html

Put the appropriate projection parameters for the resulting projection
in the general part of the map file, e.g.:
PROJECTION 
   "proj=lcc"
   "ellps=wgs84" 
   "lat_1=30n"
   "lat_2=60n"
   "lat_0=0n" 
   "lon_0=20e"
   "x_0=0"      # offset x in meters, e.g. to avoid negative values
   "y_0=0"      # offset y
END

(values are only suggestions/examples, choose yourself appropriate
numbers) and specify the original projection parameters (i.e. geographic
coordinates) in the layer sections: 

PROJECTION 
   "proj=latlong"
   "ellps=wgs84"
END

Regards,
Andreas
