Create Ellipsoid
Dialog Box
The Create Ellipsoid dialog box
contains the following subelements:
- a Code field, in which you specify a new two-letter
code for the new user-defined ellipsoid. This code cannot be the same as
any code that is already used for another ellipsoid.
- a Name field, in which you specify a name for the new
user-defined ellipsoid. The name may be any string.
- a Semi-Major Axis field, in which you specify the
semi-major axis length for the new user-defined ellipsoid, as a positive
integer value in meters.
- a Flattening field, in which you specify the
flattening for the new user-defined ellipsoid, as a positive integer value
between 250 and 350.
- a Cancel button – which aborts ellipsoid creation and
returns you to the GEOTRANS main window.
- an OK button – which causes a new user-defined
ellipsoid to be created using the specified parameter values.
