Hi Nicolas,

What do you mean with "calculates the z factor for a particular latitude"? 

- z-factor as in x,y,z?
- Do you mean based on a crs/datum? So more proj-based?
- Or do you mean based on a known dataset with not enough z-info? So more extra/intrapolation?
- Raster? Vector?
- Creating a new dataset (processing)? Or just reporting for one lat (desktop/gui)?

Just trying to get an idea of your idea :-)
