LCC

 Projection     : Lambert Conformal Conic
 General class  : conic
 Characteristics: conformal
                : rectangular coordinates (U.S.A.; France)
 Earth model    : ellipsoid or sphere

Defining the MAPUNITS:

 MapUnits "lcc"      ! Standard name
 MapUnits "lcc e0"   ! Standard name and ellipsoid

Other parameters:

 TrueOriginLongitude "central_meridian"       ! Required -+- True origin
 TrueOriginLatitude  "latitude_of_origin"     ! Required /
 1stStandardParallel "1st_standard_parallel"  ! Required
 2ndStandardParallel "2nd_standard_parallel"  ! Required
 FalseEasting        "false_easting"          ! Optional, default is zero
 FalseNorthing       "false_northing"         ! Optional, default is zero

Possible errors:

 E332, "Equal latitudes for st. parallels on opposite sides of 
        equator" - Error occurred in initializing the projection
 E334, "Point cannot be projected" - In converting from 
        geographic coordinates to projection coordinates, the 
        point projects into infinity
