The GPROJECT Procedure |
The GPROJECT procedure also can create a rectangular subset of the input map data set by excluding all points with longitude and latitude values that fall outside of a specified range. This provides a handy way to reduce the size of the map data set if you need only a portion of a larger map.
The GPROJECT procedure does not produce any graphics output. Instead, it produces an output map data set, which typically becomes the input map data set for the GMAP procedure (see The GMAP Procedure).
Map before Projection (GR23N01(a)) and Map after Projection (GR23N01(b)) illustrate the effect of using GPROJECT defaults (Albers projection with standard parallels that are calculated by the procedure) to project a typical map data set with coordinates that are stored as longitude and latitude.
The program for the following maps can be seen in Using Default Projection Specifications.
Map before Projection (GR23N01(a))
Map after Projection (GR23N01(b))
