@UML(identifier="CS_PolarCS", specification=ISO_19111) public interface PolarCS extends CoordinateSystem
A 2-dimensional coordinate system in which position is specified by the distance from the origin and the angle between the line from the origin to a point and a reference direction.This type of CS can be used by coordinate reference systems of type
EngineeringCRS
. The following examples describe some possible set of axes for polar CS used with the above-cited CRS:Example: used with an Engineering CRS Axis name Abbr. Direction Unit Distance r AxisDirection.valueOf("AWAY_FROM")
metre Bearing Θ AxisDirection.valueOf("CLOCKWISE")
degree Note: The above example uses two axis directions that are not defined in ISO 19111, but found in ISO 19162 as "awayFrom
" and "clockwise
".
