Properties
Projection: Stereographic
Projection center: North Pole
Vertical meridian: 15.000° E
Position of vertical meridian: 55.4113 % of image width from left edge
Position of pole: 8.9207 % of image height above top edge
Scale at pole: 1.8011 % of image height ( = 1.4013 % of image width) per degree
Mathematics (conversion from latitude and longitude to image coordinate)
x (%)= 55.4113 + 160.5827*tan(pi*(90 - $1)/360)*sin(pi*($2 - 15)/180)
y (%)= -8.9207 + 206.3877*tan(pi*(90 - $1)/360)*cos(pi*($2 - 15)/180)
$1: latitude in degrees (positive for all locations on map).
$2: longitude in degrees (positive or negative).
x (%): x coordinate expressed as percentage of image width (measured from left edge).
y (%): y coordinate expressed as percentage of image height (measured from top edge).
