SinusoidalProjection

public SinusoidalProjection()

Method Details

toGeo

public double[] toGeo(double x,
 double y)

Description copied from interface: GeographicProjection

Converts map coordinates to geographic coordinates

Specified by:

toGeo in interface GeographicProjection

Parameters:

x - - x map coordinate

y - - y map coordinate

Returns:

{longitude, latitude} in degrees

fromGeo

public double[] fromGeo(double longitude,
 double latitude)
                 throws OutOfProjectionBoundsException

Description copied from interface: GeographicProjection

Converts geographic coordinates to map coordinates

Specified by:

fromGeo in interface GeographicProjection

Parameters:

longitude - - longitude, in degrees

latitude - - latitude, in degrees

Returns:

{x, y} map coordinates

Throws:

OutOfProjectionBoundsException - if the specified point on the geographic space cannot be mapped to a point of the projected space

metersPerUnit

public double metersPerUnit()

Description copied from interface: GeographicProjection

Gives an estimation of the scale of this projection. This is just an estimation, as distortion is inevitable when projecting a sphere onto a flat surface, so this value varies from places to places in reality.

Specified by:

metersPerUnit in interface GeographicProjection

Returns:

an estimation of the scale of this projection

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
