All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class Mercator
extends CylindricalProjection

The Mercator projection has following properties:

• Cylindircal
• Conformal
• Meridians are equally spaced straight lines
• Parallels are unequally spaced straight lines closest near the equator, cutting meridians at right angles.
• Scale is true along the Equator, or along two parallels equidistant from the Equator
• Loxodromes (rhumb lines) are straight lines
• Not perspective
• Poles are at infinity; great distortion or area in polar regions
• Used for navigation
• Presented by Mercator in 1569

Method Detail

doInverseProjection

public javax.vecmath.Point2d doInverseProjection(double x,
                                                 double y)
                                          throws ProjectionException

Description copied from class: Projection

Do an inverse projection from projected (map) coordinates to geographic coordinates.

Specified by:

doInverseProjection in class Projection

Parameters:

x - coordinate on the map

y - coordinate on the map

Returns:

the projected Point with x = lambda and y = phi;

Throws:

ProjectionException - if the given x and y coordinates could not be inverted to lambda and phi.

doProjection

public javax.vecmath.Point2d doProjection(double lambda,
                                          double phi)
                                   throws ProjectionException

Description copied from class: Projection

The actual transform method doing a projection from geographic coordinates to map coordinates.

Specified by:

doProjection in class Projection

Parameters:

lambda - the longitude

phi - the latitude

Returns:

the projected Point or Point(Double.NAN, Double.NAN) if an error occurred.

Throws:

ProjectionException - if the given lamba and phi coordinates could not be projected to x and y.

getImplementationName

public String getImplementationName()

Specified by:

getImplementationName in class Projection

Returns:

A deegree specific name which will be used for the export of a projection.
