I'm sure there is a gap in my understanding, but I haven't been able to identify where it is, nor how to fill it. My issue is this:
I'm transforming lon lat coordinates into a lambert conformal conic projection.
The lambert projection uses a single standard parallel 46.244 and the central meridian is 17.0. And it's on a spherical ellipsoid, but that's not particularly relevant here. I am using packages that use the proj4 library.
I test the transformation using linux tool cs2cs as follows:
echo "15.220483 48.437298" | cs2cs +proj=lonlat +to +proj=lcc
+lat_1=46.244 +lat_0=46.244 +lon_0=17. +a=6367470 +b=6367470 +ellps=sphere +datum=WGS84-131346.80 245318.16
I also understand that the one-standard parallel form is the same as the two-standard parallel form if the two standard parallels are the same. It is more convenient for me to give all parallels in my scripts. So I also test with:
echo "15.220483 48.437298" | cs2cs +proj=lonlat +to +proj=lcc +lat_1=46.244 +lat_2=46.244 +lat_0=46.244 +lon_0=17. +a=6367470 +b=6367470 +ellps=sphere +datum=WGS84
-131290.66 245281.34
yet I get different results. Any ideas as to why?
And at very least, which should I use?
