IMF Developer's Guide » Site Configuration » <projection-albers-equal-area-conic>

The <projection-albers-equal-area-conic> element specifies the units and projection to be used for the map or reporting routines.

Frequency	Parent Elements (the <projection-albers-equal-area-conic> element is valid within):
PO+	<identify-report-coordinates>
PO	<map-center-coordinate>
PR1	<map-projection>
PR+	<upload-projections>

Frequency	Description (in this context)
PO	Zero or one projection element may appear within the <map-center-coordinate> element.
PO+	Zero or more projection element may appear in the <identify-report-coordinates> element.
PR1	Exactly one allowable projection element must appear within the <map-projection> element.
PR+	One or more projection elements must appear within the <upload-projections> element.

Attributes	Description
alias	The user name of the projection that will be displayed on the map and reports. Optional.
central-meridian	The central meridian. Required.
ellipsoid	The name of the ellipsoid. See valid list below. Required.
reference-latitude	The reference latitude. Required.
standard-parallel-1	The first standard parallel. Required.
standard-parallel-2	The second standard parallel. Required.
false-easting	The X adjustment, in meters. Required.
false-northing	The Y adjustment, in meters. Required.
units	The map units of the projection. Valid values are "meters" and "feet". Note that if feet are used, the false easting and northing values should also be in feet. Required.
