Detailed Description

lvcs is used to convert between a local vertical coordinate system any of the many Earth global coordinate systems. In the full constructor the user can establish the geographic coordinates of the origin and define which standard geo-coordinate system is to be used, e.g. wgs84. The full constructor allows the specification of latitude and longitude scale factors in radians/meter. If these scale factors are set to 0, then they will be computed using the location of the origin on the Earth's surface and the geoid specification.
