  • easting - Easting (meter), within 100 Km grid tile.
  • northing - Northing (meter), within 100 Km grid tile.
  • band - Optional, latitudinal band or polar region letter (str), 'C'|..|'X' covering 80°S..84°N (no 'I'|'O'), 'A'|'B' at the south or 'Y'|'Z' at the north pole.
  • datum - This reference's datum (Datum, Ellipsoid, Ellipsoid2 or a_f2Tuple).
  • resolution - Optional resolution (meter), 0 for default.
  • name - Optional name (str).
Raises:

__str__ (self)
(Informal representation operator)
