A local transverse mercator projection is a coordinate system measuring meters east and north of a fixed point.
- Parameters:
- latitudefloat, array_like
The WGS84 latitude in degrees, positive on the northern hemisphere and negative on the souther hemisphere.
- longitudefloat, array_like
The WGS84 longitude in degrees, positive is east and negative is west of the prime meridian.
- reference_latitudefloat
The WGS84 latitude of the fixed reference point.
- reference_longitudefloat
The WGS84 longitude of the fixed reference point.
- Returns:
- eastingfloat, array_like
Meters easting.
- northingfloat, array_like
