CATCH; map projection subroutine package. [IBM360,370,303x; FORTRAN IV]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6479083

CATCH (Computer-Assisted Topography, Cartography, and Hypsography) is a compatible and extensible collection of subroutines to perform a number of common map projection calculations. Included in the collection are the Albers equal area, the Lambert conformal, the Universal Transverse Mercator, the U.S. Polyconic, and the various state plane coordinate systems. Optional higher-level subroutines having the projection name as one parameter, are provided to call the projection subroutines. This facilitates use of the projection subroutines in applications programs. A general subroutine for bilinear transformation of one quadrilateral to another was developed for translating, rotating, and scaling the plane coordinates and can be used for very large-scale, approximate projections.IBM360,370,303x; FORTRAN IV; OS/370; 152K bytes of storage are required for execution.
