SUBROUTINES

fwd_transform($lon(pdl), $lat(pdl), $params)

Proj4 forward transformation $params is a string of the projection transformation parameters.

Returns two pdls for x and y values respectively. The units are dependent on Proj4 behavior. They will be PDL->null if an error has occurred.

BadDoc: Ignores bad elements of $lat and $lon, and sets the corresponding elements of $x and $y to BAD

inv_transform($x(pdl), $y(pdl), $params)

Proj4 inverse transformation $params is a string of the projection transformation parameters.

Returns two pdls for lat and lon values respectively. The units are dependent on Proj4 behavior. They will be PDL->null if an error has occurred.
