Lambert azimuthal equal area projection string, in old-style PROJ format.

Usage

laea(lon_0 = 0, lat_0 = 0, x_0 = 0, y_0 = 0)

Arguments

lon_0

centre longitude

lat_0

centre latitude

x_0

false easting (default 0 is fine)

y_0

false northing (default 0 is fine)

Value

character string, projection

Details

Note that easting/northing are poor names for false X and Y offsets, but that is what they are called in PROJ.

Examples

laea()
#> [1] "+proj=laea +lon_0=0 +lat_0=0 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84"
laea(147, -42)
#> [1] "+proj=laea +lon_0=147 +lat_0=-42 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84"
