[Proj] Re: Extracting the to_meter parameter from a projection

[Gerald I. Evenden]

IMPORTANT CONCEPT REGARDING ALL PROJ VERSIONS:

One thing to remember with proj AND libproj4 is that neither  care
about units.  Units depend upon the units that define +a (and +b, x_0,
etc.).  All prestored constants for radius or elliptic axis are presented in
meters which is the factor that to_/fr_meter depends upon.

--> IF the user defines +a= in feet, then to_/fr_meter is meaningless and
should not be used and Easting/Northing will be in feet.

As I recall, this material is discussed in the first proj manual.
