      public Longitude(String theta) throws NumberFormatException
      Constructs a newly allocated Longitude object that represents the longitude value represented by the string. The string should represents an angle in either fractional degrees (e.g. 45.5°) or degrees with minutes and seconds (e.g. 45°30'). The hemisphere (E or W) is optional (default to East).
      Parameters:
      theta - A string to be converted to a Longitude.
      Throws:
      NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable longitude.
