+Molodensky-Badekas transform
+================================================================================
+
+.. versionadded:: 6.0.0
+
+The Molodensky-Badekas transformation changes coordinates from one reference frame to
+another by means of a 10-parameter shift.
+
+.. note::
+
+ It should not be confused with the :ref:`Molodensky` transform which
+ operates directly in the geodetic coordinates. Molodensky-Badekas can rather
+ be seen as a variation of :ref:`Helmert`

+
+The Molodensky-Badekas transformation is a variation of the :ref:`Helmert` where
+the rotational terms are not directly applied to the ECEF coordinates, but on
+cartesian coordinates relative to a reference point (usually close to Earth surface,
+and to the area of use of the transformation). When ``px`` = ``py`` = ``pz`` = 0,
+this is equivalent to a 7-parameter Helmert transformation.
+
+Example
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Transforming coordinates from La Canoa to REGVEN:
+
+::
+
+ proj=molobadekas convention=coordinate_frame
+ x=-270.933 y=115.599 z=-360.226 rx=-5.266 ry=-1.238 rz=2.381
+ s=-5.109 px=2464351.59 py=-5783466.61 pz=974809.81
+
+
+Parameters
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+.. note::
+
+ All parameters (except convention) are optional but at least one should be
+ used, otherwise the operation will return the coordinates unchanged.
+
+.. option:: +convention=coordinate_frame/position_vector
+
+ Indicates the convention to express the rotational terms when a 3D-Helmert /
+ 7-parameter more transform is involved.
+
+ The two conventions are equally popular and a frequent source of confusion.
+ The coordinate frame convention is also described as an clockwise
+ rotation of the coordinate frame. It corresponds to EPSG method code
+ 1034 (in the geocentric domain) or 9636 (in the geographic domain)
+ The position vector convention is also described as an anticlockwise
+ (counter-clockwise) rotation of the coordinate frame.
+ It corresponds to as EPSG method code 1061 (in the geocentric domain) or
+ 1063 (in the geographic domain).
+
+ The result obtained with parameters specified in a given convention
+ can be obtained in the other convention by negating the rotational parameters
+ (``rx``, ``ry``, ``rz``)

+Mathematical description

+
+
+In the *Position Vector* convention, we define :math:`R_x = radians \left( rx \right)`,
+:math:`R_z = radians \left( ry \right)` and :math:`R_z = radians \left( rz \right)`
+
+In the *Coordinate Frame* convention, :math:`R_x = - radians \left( rx \right)`,
+:math:`R_z = - radians \left( ry \right)` and :math:`R_z = - radians \left( rz \right)`
