Field Detail

WGS84

public static final DefaultGeographicCRS WGS84

A two-dimensional geographic coordinate reference system using WGS84 datum. This CRS uses (longitude,latitude) ordinates with longitude values increasing East and latitude values increasing North. Angular units are decimal degrees and prime meridian is Greenwich.

WGS84_3D

public static final DefaultGeographicCRS WGS84_3D

A three-dimensional geographic coordinate reference system using WGS84 datum. This CRS uses (longitude,latitude,height) ordinates with longitude values increasing East, latitude values increasing North and height above the ellipsoid in metres. Angular units are decimal degrees and prime meridian is Greenwich.

Constructor Detail

DefaultGeographicCRS

public DefaultGeographicCRS(GeographicCRS crs)

Constructs a new geographic CRS with the same values than the specified one. This copy constructor provides a way to wrap an arbitrary implementation into a Geotools one or a user-defined one (as a subclass), usually in order to leverage some implementation-specific API. This constructor performs a shallow copy, i.e. the properties are not cloned.

Parameters:

crs - The coordinate reference system to copy.

Since:

2.2

DefaultGeographicCRS

public DefaultGeographicCRS(GeodeticDatum datum,
                            EllipsoidalCS cs)

Constructs a geographic CRS with the same properties than the given datum. The inherited properties include the name and aliases.

Parameters:

datum - The datum.

cs - The coordinate system.

Since:

2.5

DefaultGeographicCRS

public DefaultGeographicCRS(String name,
                            GeodeticDatum datum,
                            EllipsoidalCS cs)

Constructs a geographic CRS from a name.

Parameters:

name - The name.

datum - The datum.

cs - The coordinate system.

DefaultGeographicCRS

public DefaultGeographicCRS(Map<String,?> properties,
                            GeodeticDatum datum,
                            EllipsoidalCS cs)

Constructs a geographic CRS from a set of properties. The properties are given unchanged to the super-class constructor.

Parameters:

properties - Set of properties. Should contains at least "name".

datum - The datum.

cs - The coordinate system.

Method Detail

getCoordinateSystem

public EllipsoidalCS getCoordinateSystem()

Returns the coordinate system.

Specified by:

getCoordinateSystem in interface CoordinateReferenceSystem

Specified by:

getCoordinateSystem in interface GeographicCRS

Specified by:

getCoordinateSystem in interface SingleCRS

Overrides:

getCoordinateSystem in class AbstractCRS

Returns:

The coordinate system.

getDatum

public GeodeticDatum getDatum()

Returns the datum.

Specified by:

getDatum in interface GeodeticCRS

Specified by:

getDatum in interface SingleCRS

Overrides:

getDatum in class AbstractSingleCRS

Returns:

The datum.

distance

public Measure distance(double[] coord1,
                        double[] coord2)
                 throws UnsupportedOperationException,
                        MismatchedDimensionException

Computes the orthodromic distance between two points. This convenience method delegates the work to the underlyling ellipsoid, if possible.

Overrides:

distance in class AbstractCRS

Parameters:

coord1 - Coordinates of the first point.

coord2 - Coordinates of the second point.

Returns:

The distance between coord1 and coord2.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this coordinate reference system can't compute distances.

MismatchedDimensionException - if a coordinate doesn't have the expected dimension.

calculateHashCode

public int calculateHashCode()

Returns a hash value for this geographic CRS.

Overrides:

calculateHashCode in class AbstractSingleCRS

Returns:

The hash code value. This value doesn't need to be the same in past or future versions of this class.

formatWKT

protected String formatWKT(Formatter formatter)

Format the inner part of a Well Known Text (WKT) element.

Overrides:

formatWKT in class AbstractCRS

Parameters:

formatter - The formatter to use.

Returns:

The name of the WKT element type, which is "GEOGCS".

See Also:

Formattable.toWKT(), Formattable.toString()

formatPROJ

public String formatPROJ(PROJFormatter formatter)

Description copied from interface: PROJFormattable

Format the inner part of a PROJFormattable object.

This method is automatically invoked by PROJFormatter.append(PROJFormattable).

For example for a element (DefaultOperationMethod) of type Projection, the formatter will invoke this method to prepend the "+proj=" String for completing the PROJ String before appending the Projection Name (e.g. lcc for a Lambert Conformal Conic)

Specified by:

formatPROJ in interface PROJFormattable

Parameters:

formatter - The PROJFormatter to use.

Returns:

The proj String of the PROJ element type if any. (e.g. +ellps= for named ellipsoids, +datum= for named datums).
