      jwo.landserf.process.proj.OSGB

All Implemented Interfaces:

Transformable

public class OSGB

extends UTM

Class for representing the Ordnance Survey GB, National Grid coordinate system. This is a UTM transformation with a modified scale factor and transformed local origin. Can be used to convert between OSGB National Grid and lat,long coordinate systems. See www.gps.gov.uk/guidea.asp for details of the transformation.

Constructor Detail

OSGB

public OSGB()

Initialises the transformer assuming a forward transformation is into OSGB coordinates. This is equivalent to calling the constructor with FROM_LAT_LONG as the parameter. Assumes that geographic data use the WGS84 ellipsoid. The transformer will convert data to/from the AIRY_1830 ellipsoid and perform a UTM transformation with a scale factor of 0.9996012717, geographic origin of 49N, 2W and local OSGB origin of E = 400 000, N = -100 000.

OSGB

public OSGB(int direction)

Initialises the transformer. Assumes that geographic data use the WGS84 ellipsoid. The transformer will convert data to/from the AIRY_1830 ellipsoid and perform a UTM transformation with a scale factor of 0.9996012717, geographic origin of 49N, 2W and local OSGB origin of E = 400 000, N = -100 000.

Parameters:

direction - Indicates whether tranforming to or from lat/long.

Method Detail

main

public static void main(String[] args)

transformCoords

public Footprint transformCoords(Footprint fpIn)

Performs a forward lat/long to OSGB transform on the given location.

Specified by:

transformCoords in interface Transformable

Overrides:

transformCoords in class UTM

Parameters:

fpIn - Incoming footprint to transform.

Returns:

Transformed footprint.

invTransformCoords

public Footprint invTransformCoords(Footprint fpIn)

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

Specified by:

invTransformCoords in interface Transformable

Overrides:

invTransformCoords in class UTM

Parameters:

fpIn - Incoming footprint to transform.

Returns:

Transformed footprint.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Provides a general description of the transformation.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Transformable

Overrides:

getDescription in class UTM

Returns:

Description of the transformation.
