Field Summary

static int	FROM_LAT_LONG Indicates a transformation from longitude/latitude.
static int	TO_LAT_LONG Indicates a transformation to longitude/latitude.

Constructor Summary

Swiss()
Initialises the transformer assuming a forward transformation is from longitude/latitude to Swiss coordinates.

Swiss(int direction)
Initialises the transformer in the given direction.

Method Summary

boolean	doInterpolation() Indicates whether the transformation should use nearest neighbour (false) or some interpolator (true).
String	getDescription() Provides a general description of the transformation.
Ellipsoid	getEllipsoid() Reports the ellipsoid used in the transformation.
Footprint	invTransformCoords(Footprint fpIn) Performs an inverse Swiss grid to longitude/latitude transform on the given location.
Footprint	latLongToSwiss(float lng, float lat) Converts the given longitude/latitude coordinates into Swiss grid.
void	setInterpolation(boolean doInterpolation) Sets whether the transformation should use nearest neighbour (false) or some interpolator (true).
Footprint	swissToLatLong(float easting, float northing) Converts the given Swiss coordinates to longitude/latitude location.
Footprint	transformCoords(Footprint fpIn) Performs a forward longitude/latitude to Swiss grid transform on the given location.

Constructor Detail

Swiss

public Swiss()

Initialises the transformer assuming a forward transformation is from longitude/latitude to Swiss coordinates. This is equivalent to calling the constructor with FROM_LAT_LONG as the parameter.

Swiss

public Swiss(int direction)

Initialises the transformer in the given direction.

Parameters:

direction - Indicates whether transforming to or from longitude/latitude.

Method Detail

latLongToSwiss

public Footprint latLongToSwiss(float lng,
                                float lat)

Converts the given longitude/latitude coordinates into Swiss grid. Longitude/latitude should be in decimal degrees with positive North and negative East.

Parameters:

lng - Longitude (+-180.0).

lat - Latitude (+-90.0).

Returns:

Swiss coordinates of the given longitude/latitude location.

swissToLatLong

public Footprint swissToLatLong(float easting,
                                float northing)

Converts the given Swiss coordinates to longitude/latitude location.

Parameters:

easting - Swiss easting.

northing - Swiss northing.

Returns:

Longitude/latitude coordinates of the given location (decimal degrees).

transformCoords

public Footprint transformCoords(Footprint fpIn)

Performs a forward longitude/latitude to Swiss grid transform on the given location.

Specified by:

transformCoords in interface Transformable

Parameters:

fpIn - Incoming footprint to transform.

Returns:

Transformed footprint.

invTransformCoords

public Footprint invTransformCoords(Footprint fpIn)

Performs an inverse Swiss grid to longitude/latitude transform on the given location.

Specified by:

invTransformCoords in interface Transformable

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

Returns:

Description of the transformation.

doInterpolation

public boolean doInterpolation()

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

Specified by:

doInterpolation in interface Transformable

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.

getEllipsoid

public Ellipsoid getEllipsoid()

Reports the ellipsoid used in the transformation.

Returns:

Ellipsoid used in the transformation.
