1.4.1 Types of Coordinate Systems

The following types of 2-D coordinate systems exist in the UC, and the user can specify one with the number of function. (Functions that return the function number from an abbreviation or name is also available.) Each coordinate system needs different sets of parameters for normalization transformation depending on the type.

The user will prepare the transformation function necessary for the user defined coordinate system. For details, see Section 6 (STPACK).
