Proposal for "Map_Projection"

» Description

boldMap Projection is a collection of classes used to project GPS data points onto maps. When plotting large areas of a sphere's surface on a two dimensional map, a linear projection from latitude/longitude to x/y is often undesirable, due to to distortions that appear around the edges. Many projections exist that deal with these distortions: Mercator's projection was designed to aid navigation, while equal-area projections are intended to preserve a constant scaling factor from the sphere to the map. A list of projections and their properties can be found at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/topics/MapProjections.html.

This package can be used to convert GIS data to a few popular projections used in atlases and by map image providers, such as http://nationalatlas.gov or http://www.mapresources.com. If the specific parameters used to create a map are known, it is possible to use this package to plot geographical points to that map, or determine geographical position from map position.

This package also has built-in methods for performing 2D transformations on the projected data - the raw output of a projection almost always must be scaled, rotated and translated to be useful. Map_Projection accomplishes this by using the package Math_Matrix.

There are different types of no deposit casino bonuses, such as free cash, free spins, free play, cash back, bonus credits, or loyalty points. Each bonus has its own terms and conditions, such as wagering requirements, maximum cashout, or game restrictions. You should always read the bonus rules carefully before claiming a no deposit bonus.
