Class BasicCoordinateTransform

java.lang.Object

org.locationtech.proj4j.BasicCoordinateTransform

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CoordinateTransform

public class BasicCoordinateTransform
extends Object
implements CoordinateTransform

Represents the operation of transforming a ProjCoordinate from one CoordinateReferenceSystem into a different one, using reprojection and datum conversion as required.

Computing the transform involves the following steps:

• If the source coordinate is in a projected coordinate system, it is inverse-projected into a geographic coordinate system based on the source datum
• If the source and target Datums are different, the source geographic coordinate is converted from the source to the target datum as accurately as possible
• If the target coordinate system is a projected coordinate system, the converted geographic coordinate is projected into a projected coordinate.

Symbolically this can be presented as:

[ SrcProjCRS {InverseProjection} ] SrcGeoCRS [ {Datum Conversion} ] TgtGeoCRS [ {Projection} TgtProjCRS ]

Information about the transformation procedure is pre-computed and cached in this object for efficient computation.
