Class TransformationFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.deegree.crs.transformations.TransformationFactory

public class TransformationFactory
extends java.lang.Object

The TransformationFactory class is the central access point for all transformations between different crs's.

It creates a transformation chain for two given CoordinateSystems by considering their type. For example the Transformation chain from EPSG:31466 ( a projected crs with underlying geographic crs epsg:4314 using the DHDN datum and the TransverseMercator Projection) to EPSG:28992 (another projected crs with underlying geographic crs epsg:4289 using the 'new Amersfoort Datum' and the StereographicAzimuthal Projection) would result in following Transformation Chain:

1. Inverse projection - thus getting the coordinates in lat/lon for geographic crs epsg:4314
2. Geodetic transformation - thus getting x-y-z coordinates for geographic crs epsg:4314
3. WGS84 transformation -thus getting the x-y-z coordinates for the WGS84 datum
4. Inverse WGS84 transformation -thus getting the x-y-z coordinates for the geodetic from epsg:4289
5. Inverse geodetic - thus getting the lat/lon for epsg:4289
6. projection - getting the coordinates (in meters) for epsg:28992

createFromCoordinateSystems

public Transformation createFromCoordinateSystems(CoordinateSystem sourceCRS,
                                                  CoordinateSystem targetCRS)
                                           throws TransformationException,
                                                  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Creates a transformation between two coordinate systems. This method will examine the coordinate systems in order to construct a transformation between them.

Parameters:

sourceCRS - Input coordinate system.

targetCRS - Output coordinate system.

Returns:

A coordinate transformation from sourceCRS to targetCRS.

Throws:

TransformationException

TransformationException - if no transformation path has been found.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the sourceCRS or targetCRS are null.
