Field Detail

WGS84

Constructor Detail

DefaultGeodeticDatum

public DefaultGeodeticDatum(GeodeticDatum datum)

Constructs a new datum 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.

Since:

2.2

DefaultGeodeticDatum

public DefaultGeodeticDatum(String name,
                            Ellipsoid ellipsoid,
                            PrimeMeridian primeMeridian)

Constructs a geodetic datum from a name.

Parameters:

name - The datum name.

ellipsoid - The ellipsoid.

primeMeridian - The prime meridian.

DefaultGeodeticDatum

public DefaultGeodeticDatum(Map<String,?> properties,
                            Ellipsoid ellipsoid,
                            PrimeMeridian primeMeridian)

Constructs a geodetic datum from a set of properties. The properties map is given unchanged to the super-class constructor. Additionally, the following properties are understood by this construtor:

Property name	Value type	Value given to
"bursaWolf"	BursaWolfParameters or an array of those	getBursaWolfParameters()

Parameters:

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

ellipsoid - The ellipsoid.

primeMeridian - The prime meridian.

Method Detail

getEllipsoid

public Ellipsoid getEllipsoid()

Returns the ellipsoid.

Specified by:

getEllipsoid in interface GeodeticDatum

Returns:

The ellipsoid.

getPrimeMeridian

public PrimeMeridian getPrimeMeridian()

Returns the prime meridian.

Specified by:

getPrimeMeridian in interface GeodeticDatum

Returns:

The prime meridian.

getBursaWolfParameters

public BursaWolfParameters[] getBursaWolfParameters()

Returns all Bursa Wolf parameters specified in the properties map at construction time.

Since:

2.4

getBursaWolfParameters

public BursaWolfParameters getBursaWolfParameters(GeodeticDatum target)

Returns Bursa Wolf parameters for a datum shift toward the specified target, or null if none. This method search only for Bursa-Wolf parameters explicitly specified in the properties map at construction time. This method doesn't try to infer a set of parameters from indirect informations. For example it doesn't try to inverse the parameters specified in the target datum if none were found in this datum. If such an elaborated search is wanted, use getAffineTransform(org.geotools.api.referencing.datum.GeodeticDatum, org.geotools.api.referencing.datum.GeodeticDatum) instead.

getAffineTransform

public static Matrix getAffineTransform(GeodeticDatum source,
                                        GeodeticDatum target)

Returns a matrix that can be used to define a transformation to the specified datum. If no transformation path is found, then this method returns null.

Parameters:

source - The source datum.

target - The target datum.

Returns:

An affine transform from source to target, or null if none.

BursaWolfParameters.getAffineTransform()

isWGS84

public static boolean isWGS84(Datum datum)

Returns true if the specified object is equals (at least on computation purpose) to the WGS84 datum. This method may conservatively returns false if the specified datum is uncertain (for example because it come from an other implementation).

equals

public boolean equals(AbstractIdentifiedObject object,
                      boolean compareMetadata)

Compare this datum with the specified object for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractDatum

Parameters:

object - The object to compare to this.

compareMetadata - true for performing a strict comparaison, or false for comparing only properties relevant to transformations.

Returns:

true if both objects are equal.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash value for this geodetic datum. Name, remarks and the like are not taken in account. In other words, two geodetic datums will return the same hash value if they are equal in the sense of equals(AbstractIdentifiedObject, false).

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractIdentifiedObject

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 AbstractDatum

Parameters:

formatter - The formatter to use.

Returns:

The WKT element name, which is "DATUM"
