NAME
Geo::GPS::Data::Ellipsoid - Ellipsoid management for the perl-GPSData package.
SYNOPSIS
use Geo::GPS::Data::Ellipsoid;
$e = Geo::GPS::Data::Ellipsoid->new();
$id = id_from_ellipsoid({ellipsoid=>$ell_name});
$ell_name = ellipsoid_from_id({id=>$id});
$arr_ref = list_ellipsoids();DESCRIPTION
This is an internal module of the perl-GPSData package and should not be used directly by a program. This module implements the list of currently supported ellipsoids. Since this list changes seldom (if ever at all) it is hardwired in the module instead of being in the storage used. The supported ellipsoids at this moment are: 1 - Airy; 2 - Australian National; 3 - Bessel 1841; 4 - Bessel 1841 (Nambia); 5 - Clarke 1866; 6 - Clarke 1880; 7 - Everest; 8 - Fischer 1960 (Mercury); 9 - Fischer 1968; 10 - GRS 1967; 11 - GRS 1980; 12 - Helmert 1906; 13 - Hough; 14 - International; 15 - Krassovsky; 16 - Modified Airy; 17 - Modified Everest; 18 - Modified Fischer 1960; 19 - South American 1969; 20 - WGS 60; 21 - WGS 66; 22 - WGS-72; 23 - WGS-84.
This list was shamelessly stolen from the Geo::Coordinates::UTM module. :)
