DESCRIPTION:

###New Zealand Transverse Mercator (NZTM) projection routines

Converts coordinates between the New Zealand Transverse Merctator 2000 and GRS80 latitude and longitude on the New Zealand Geodetic Datum 2000.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

SYNOPSIS:

The NZTM200 provides two public methods

geod( easting, northing ) Converts easting and northing (meters) to a latitude and longitude (Decimal degrees and radian results available)

nztm( latitude, longitude ) Converts latitude and longitude (Decimal degrees) to easting and northing (meters)

require 'nztm2000'
  #Self test from nztm.c.
  nztm2000 = NZTM2000.new
  [[1576041.150, 6188574.240], 
   [1576542.010, 5515331.050],
   [1307103.220, 4826464.860]].each do |easting,northing|
     r_latitude, r_longitude = nztm2000.geod(easting, northing)
     r_easting, r_northing = nztm2000.nztm(r_latitude, r_longitude)
 
     printf "Input  NZTM easting, northing: %12.3f %12.3f\n", easting, northing
     printf "Output     Latitude Longitude: %12.6f %12.6f\n", r_latitude, r_longitude
     printf "Output NZTM easting, northing: %12.3f %12.3f\n", r_easting, r_northing
     printf "Difference:                    %12.3f %12.3f\n", easting - r_easting, northing - r_northing
     puts
  end
