public abstract class Orthographic
extends MapProjection

Orthographic Projection. This is a perspective azimuthal (planar) projection that is neither conformal nor equal-area. It resembles a globe and only one hemisphere can be seen at a time, since it is a perspectiove projection from infinite distance. While not useful for accurate measurements, this projection is useful for pictorial views of the world. Only the spherical form is given here.

NOTE: formulae used below are from a port, to java, of the proj package of the USGS survey. USGS work is acknowledged here.

Constructor Detail

Orthographic

protected Orthographic(org.opengis.parameter.ParameterValueGroup parameters)
                throws org.opengis.parameter.ParameterNotFoundException
Creates a transform from the specified group of parameter values.

Parameters:
parameters - The group of parameter values.
Throws:
org.opengis.parameter.ParameterNotFoundException - if a required parameter was not found.
Since:
2.4
Method Detail

getParameterDescriptors

public org.opengis.parameter.ParameterDescriptorGroup getParameterDescriptors()
Returns the parameter descriptors for this map projection. This is used for a providing a default implementation of MapProjection.getParameterValues(), as well as arguments checking.

Specified by:
getParameterDescriptors in class MapProjection
Returns:
The parameter descriptors for this math transform, or null.

OperationMethod.getParameters()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)
Compares the specified object with this map projection for equality.

Overrides:
equals in class MapProjection
Parameters:
object - The object to compare with this transform.
Returns:
true if the given object is a transform of the same class and if, given identical source position, the transformed position would be the equals.
