Parameters

datum: The named Geodetic Datum to create, or replace.
re: The equatorial radius of the ellipsoid, specified in metres.
rp: The polar radius of the ellipsoid, specified in metres.
dx: The x shift to apply to the ellipsoid, specified in metres.
dy: The y shift to apply to the ellipsoid, specified in metres.
dz: The z shift to apply to the ellipsoid, specified in metres.
ex: The rotational adjustment about the x axis, specified in minutes of arc.
ey: The rotational adjustment about the y axis, specified in minutes of arc.
ez: The rotational adjustment about the z axis, specified in minutes of arc.
m: The correction scale factor, specified in parts per million. Use 0.0 for no scale correction.
pm: The Prime Meridian, specified in radians. At present, this parameter is ignored, and must be specified as 0.0.
