Constructor Detail

ObliqueMercator

public ObliqueMercator(Ellipsoid ellipsoid)

Initialises the Oblique Mercator converter with the given ellipsoid. The forward transformation will be from Lat/long to Oblique Merctor.

Parameters:

ellipsoid - to use in projection.

Method Detail

transformCoords

public processing.core.PVector transformCoords(processing.core.PVector p)

Performs a forward longitude/latitude to Oblique Mercator transform on the given location.

Specified by:

transformCoords in interface MapProjection

Parameters:

p - point coordinates to transform.

Returns:

Transformed footprint.

invTransformCoords

public processing.core.PVector invTransformCoords(processing.core.PVector p)

Performs an inverse Oblique Mercator to lat/long transform on the given location.

Specified by:

invTransformCoords in interface MapProjection

Parameters:

p - Point coordinates to transform

Returns:

Transformed footprint.

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Provides a general description of the transformation.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface MapProjection

Returns:

Description of the transformation.

doInterpolation

public boolean doInterpolation()

Indicates whether the transformation should use nearest neighbour (false) or some interpolator (true).

Returns:

True if transformation should perform some local interpolation.

setInterpolation

public void setInterpolation(boolean doInterpolation)

Sets whether the transformation should use nearest neighbour (false) or some interpolator (true).

Parameters:

doInterpolation - True if transformation should perform some local interpolation.

latLongToObliqueMercator

public processing.core.PVector latLongToObliqueMercator(processing.core.PVector p)

Converts the given (lat,lng) coordinates into an oblique Mercator location. Longitude/latitude should be in decimal degrees with positive North and positive East.

Parameters:

p - Longitude/latitude point. Longitude varies within +-180 degrees, latitude within +-90 degrees.

Returns:

Oblique Mercator location.

obliqueMercatorToLatLong

public processing.core.PVector obliqueMercatorToLatLong(processing.core.PVector p)

Converts the given Oblique Mercator coordinates into a longitude/latitude location. Longitude/latitude will be in decimal degrees with positive North and negative East.

Parameters:

p - Location of point as an easting and northing in the Oblique Mercator projection (metres from local origin).

Returns:

Longitude/latitude location.

getEllipsoid

public Ellipsoid getEllipsoid()

Reports the ellipsoid used in the transformation.

Returns:

Ellipsoid used in the Oblique Mercator transformation.
