public interface CSAuthorityFactory
extends AuthorityFactory

Creates coordinate systems using authority codes. External authorities are used to manage definitions of objects used in this interface. The definitions of these objects are referenced using code strings. A commonly used authority is EPSG, which is also used in the GeoTIFF standard.

Method Details

createCoordinateSystem

CoordinateSystem createCoordinateSystem(String code)
                                 throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Returns an arbitrary coordinate system from a code. If the coordinate system type is know at compile time, it is recommended to invoke the most precise method instead of this one (for example createCartesianCS(code) instead of createCoordinateSystem(code) if the caller know he is asking for a cartesian coordinate system).

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createCartesianCS

CartesianCS createCartesianCS(String code)
                       throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates a cartesian coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createPolarCS

PolarCS createPolarCS(String code)
               throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates a polar coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createCylindricalCS

CylindricalCS createCylindricalCS(String code)
                           throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates a cylindrical coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createSphericalCS

SphericalCS createSphericalCS(String code)
                       throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates a spherical coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createEllipsoidalCS

EllipsoidalCS createEllipsoidalCS(String code)
                           throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates an ellipsoidal coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createVerticalCS

VerticalCS createVerticalCS(String code)
                     throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates a vertical coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createTimeCS

TimeCS createTimeCS(String code)
             throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Creates a temporal coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The coordinate system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createCoordinateSystemAxis

CoordinateSystemAxis createCoordinateSystemAxis(String code)
                                         throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Returns a coordinate system axis from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The axis for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createUnit

@UML(identifier="CS_CoordinateSystemAuthorityFactory.createLinearUnit, createAngularUnit",
     specification=OGC_01009)
Unit<?> createUnit(String code)
            throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Returns an unit from a code.

Parameters:

code - Value allocated by authority.

Returns:

The unit for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.
