15-6 Strip Transformation of Conformal Coordinates
(Gauss-Krueger/UTM Mappings)

Strip transformation of conformal coordinates of type Gauss-Krueger and of type UTM.
Conformal polynomial, inverse conformal polynomial.

Due to the increasing demand of connectivity of geodetic charts of the Earth surface, namely
caused by digital cartography in transport systems (“vehicles”), strip transformations of conformal
