<p><strong>CartConvert</strong> [ <strong>-r</strong> ] [ <strong>-l</strong> <em>lat0</em> <em>lon0</em> <em>h0</em> ] [ <strong>-e</strong> <em>a</em> <em>r</em> ]

<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p>Convert geodetic coordinates to either geocentric or local cartesian
coordinates. Geocentric coordinates have the origin at the center of
the earth, with the <em>z</em> axis going thru the north pole, and the <em>x</em>
axis thru <em>latitidude</em> = 0, <em>longitude</em> = 0. By default, the
conversion is to geocentric coordinates. Specifying <strong>-l</strong> <em>lat0</em>
<em>lon0</em> <em>h0</em> causes a local coordinate system to be used with the
origin at <em>latitude</em> = <em>lat0</em>, <em>longitude</em> = <em>lon0</em>, <em>height</em> =
<em>h0</em>, <em>z</em> normal to the ellipsoid and <em>y</em> due north.</p>
<p>Geodetic coordinates are provided on standard input as a set of lines
containing (blank separated) <em>latitude</em>, <em>longitude</em> (decimal degrees
or degrees, minutes and seconds), and <em>height</em> (meters). For each set
of geodetic coordinates, the corresponding cartesian coordinates <em>x</em>,
<em>y</em>, <em>z</em> (meters) are printed on standard output.</p>

<p>specify the ellipsoid via <em>a</em> <em>r</em>; the equatorial radius is <em>a</em> and
the reciprocal flattening is <em>r</em>. Setting <em>r</em> = 0 results in a
sphere. Specify <em>r</em> < 0 for a prolate ellipsoid. By default, the
WGS84 ellipsoid is used, <em>a</em> = 6378137m, <em>r</em> = 298.257223563.</p>

<h1><a name="errors">ERRORS</a></h1>
<p>An illegal line of input will print an error message to standard output
beginning with <code>ERROR:</code> and causes <strong>CartConvert</strong> to return an exit
code of 1. However, an error does not cause <strong>CartConvert</strong> to
terminate; following lines will be converted.</p>
