Alternatively, if you want to bound the system to (x1, y1, x2, y2)=(-500000, 0, 500000, 1000000), the
required line is:
coordsys 8,33,7,-177,0,0.9996,500000,0, -500000, 0,
500000, 1000000
To customize the system using both of these modifications, the line is:
coordsys 8,33,7,-177,0,0.9996,500000,0, 7, 0.5, -
0.866, 0, 0.866, 0.5, 0, -500000, 0, 500000,
1000000
Projection Datums
The datum is established by tying a reference ellipsoid to a particular point on the earth. The
following table lists these details for each datum:
•
The number used to identify the datum in the MapInfoCoordinateSystemSet.xml file.
•
The datum’s name
•
The maps for which the datum is typically used
•
The datum’s reference ellipsoid
