Major restructure and rewrite of docs.
A section on "Using PROJ.4" has been introduced giving a introduction
on how to use PROJ.4. The Parameters section has been removed and the
content reworked into other sections. Additionally the order of chapters
has been changed to provide a more complete and readable experience for
users of the documentation.

Data is assumed to be in system type double floating point - words. This option is to be used when proj is a son process and allows bypassing - formatting operations. - - -i Selects binary input only (see -b option). - - -C Check. Invoke all built in self tests and report. Get more verbose report by - preceding with the -V option). - - -I alternate method to specify inverse projection. Redundant when used with invproj. - - -o Selects binary output only (see -b option). - - -ta A specifies a character employed as the first character to denote a control line - to be passed through without processing. This option applicable to ascii input - only. (# is the default value). - - -e string - String is an arbitrary string to be output if an error is detected during data - transformations. The default value is: *\t*. Note that if the -b, -i or -o - options are employed, an error is returned as HUGE_VAL value for both return values. - - -E causes the input coordinates to be copied to the output line prior to printing the - converted values. - - - -l[p|P|=|e|u|d]id - List projection identifiers with -l, -lp or -lP (expanded) that can be selected - with +proj. -l=id gives expanded description of projection id. List - ellipsoid identifiers with -le, that can be selected with +ellps, -lu list of - cartesian to meter conversion factors that can be selected with +units or -ld - list of datums that can be selected with +datum. - - -r This options reverses the order of the expected input from longitude-latitude or - x-y to latitude-longitude or y-x. - - -s This options reverses the order of the output from x-y or longitude-latitude to - y-x or latitude-longitude. - - -S Causes estimation of meridinal and parallel scale factors, area scale factor and - angular distortion, and maximum and minimum scale factors to be listed between <> - for each input point. For conformal projections meridinal and parallel scales - factors will be equal and angular distortion zero. Equal area projections will - have an area factor of 1. - - -m mult - The cartesian data may be scaled by the mult parameter. When processing data in - a forward projection mode the cartesian output values are multiplied by mult - otherwise the input cartesian values are divided by mult before inverse projection. - If the first two characters of mult are 1/ or 1: then the reciprocal value of mult - is employed. - - -f format - Format is a printf format string to control the form of the output values. For - inverse projections, the output will be in degrees when this option is employed. - The default format is "%.2f" for forward projection and DMS for inverse. - - -[w|W]n - N is the number of significant fractional digits to employ for seconds output (when - the option is not specified, -w3 is assumed). When -W is employed the fields - will be constant width and with leading zeroes. - - -v causes a listing of cartographic control parameters tested for and used by the - program to be printed prior to input data. Should not be used with the -T - option. - - -V This option causes an expanded annotated listing of the characteristics of the - projected point. -v is implied with this option. - - -T ulow,uhi,vlow,vhi,res[,umax,vmax] - This option creates a set of bivariate Chebyshev polynomial coefficients that - approximate the selected cartographic projection on stdout. The values low and - hi denote the range of the input where the u or v prefixes apply to respective - longitude-x or latitude-y depending upon whether a forward or inverse projection - is selected. Res is an integer number specifying the power of 10 precision of - the approximation. For example, a res of -3 specifies an approximation with an - accuracy better than .001. Umax, and vmax specify maximum degree of the polynomials - (default: 15). - - -The ``+args`` run-line arguments are associated with cartographic parameters. Usage varies with -projection and for a complete description consult the `projection pages <../projections/index.html>`_ - -Additional projection control parameters may be -contained in two auxiliary control files: the -first is optionally referenced with the -``+init=file:id`` and the second is always processed -after the name of the projection has been established -from either the run-line or the contents -of +init file. The environment parameter -``PROJ_LIB`` establishes the default directory for a -file reference without an absolute path. This -is also used for supporting files like datum -shift files. - -One or more files (processed in left to right -order) specify the source of data to be trans- -formed. A - will specify the location of pro- -cessing standard input. If no files are speci- -fied, the input is assumed to be from stdin. -For ASCII input data the two data values must be -in the first two white space separated fields -and when both input and output are ASCII all -trailing portions of the input line are appended -to the output line. - -Input geographic data (longitude and latitude) -must be in DMS format and input cartesian data -must be in units consistent with the ellipsoid -major axis or sphere radius units. Output geo- -graphic coordinates will be in DMS (if the -w -switch is not employed) and precise to 0.001" -with trailing, zero-valued minute-second fields -deleted. - -Example -******* -The following script - -:: - - proj +proj=utm +lon_0=112w +ellps=clrk66 - -r <<EOF - 45d15'33.1" 111.5W - 45d15.551666667N -111d30 - +45.25919444444 111d30'000w - EOF - -will perform UTM forward projection with a stan- -dard UTM central meridian nearest longitude -112W.
