Conversion (Geotools modules 34-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

CoordinateOperation, IdentifiedObject, Operation, SingleOperation

All Known Subinterfaces:

ConicProjection, CylindricalProjection, PlanarProjection, Projection

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultConicProjection, DefaultConversion, DefaultCylindricalProjection, DefaultPlanarProjection, DefaultProjection, DefiningConversion
```
public interface Conversion
extends Operation
```
An operation on coordinates that does not include any change of Datum. The best-known example of a coordinate conversion is a map projection. The parameters describing coordinate conversions are defined rather than empirically derived.
Note that some conversions have no parameters.

Since:

- Method Detail
  - getSourceCRS
```
CoordinateReferenceSystem getSourceCRS()
```
    Returns the source CRS. Conversions may have a source CRS that is not specified here, but through GeneralDerivedCRS.getBaseCRS() instead.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSourceCRS in interface CoordinateOperation
    
    Returns:
    
    The source CRS, or null if not available.
    
    See Also:
    
    getSourceCRS(), Transformation.getSourceCRS()
  - getTargetCRS
```
CoordinateReferenceSystem getTargetCRS()
```
    Returns the target CRS. Conversions may have a target CRS that is not specified here, but through GeneralDerivedCRS instead.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getTargetCRS in interface CoordinateOperation
    
    Returns:
    
    The target CRS, or null if not available.
    
    See Also:
    
    getTargetCRS(), Transformation.getTargetCRS()
  - getOperationVersion
```
String getOperationVersion()
```
    This attribute is declared in CoordinateOperation but is not used in a conversion.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getOperationVersion in interface CoordinateOperation
    
    Returns:
    
    Always null.
