Going through flight school I got acquainted with the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, as it's the common projection for VFR sectional charts, and I think I have pretty good grasp of it, geometrically.
However, trying to wrap my head around the mathematics behind it I browse around on Wikipedia and on MathWorld which both more or less simply list the formulas, not really diving into the mathematics behind it.
It appears to have 4 parameters:
- The two standard parallels,
- reference longitude, and reference latitude
What is the purpose of the reference longitude/latitude? Do they affect the actual projection, or will they simply shift the result to let the reference coordinates result in (x,y)=(0,0)?
