geo2gkn - conversion of geographical coord. into GK-N coordinates

Calling Sequence

[z,NRout] = geo2gkn(w2,w1,NR)

Parameters

Description

The function geo2gkn calculates Gauss-Krüger Coordinates in the cartesian Potsdam-Rauenberg-DHDN format. By changing the values of the constants of the earth ellipsoide, other cartesian formats can achieved.

However: A transformation is not done, because it is just funny. The background behind all coordinate transformations are further mathematical operations, like calculating distances, directions etc.

Examples

[Z1,NR]=geo2gkn(8,49,3);
[Z2,NR]=geo2gkn(10,51,3);
d=abs(Z2-Z1)/1000; // Distance between points in km
disp(d);
