@UML(identifier="CC_Conversion",
     specification=ISO_19111)
public interface Conversion
extends SingleOperation

An operation on coordinates that does not include any change of Datum. The best-known example of a coordinate conversion is a map projection. The parameters describing coordinate conversions are defined rather than empirically derived.

Example: Conversion from an ellipsoidal coordinate reference system based on the WGS 84 datum to a Cartesian coordinate reference system also based on the WGS 84 datum, or change of units such as from radians to degrees or feet to meters.

Note that some conversions have no parameters.

Method Detail

getSourceCRS

@UML(identifier="sourceCRS",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19111)
CoordinateReferenceSystem getSourceCRS()

Returns the source CRS. Conversions may have a source CRS that is not specified here, but through GeneralDerivedCRS.getBaseCRS() instead.

Specified by:

getSourceCRS in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

the source CRS, or null if not available.

See Also:

getSourceCRS(), Transformation.getSourceCRS()

getTargetCRS

@UML(identifier="targetCRS",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19111)
CoordinateReferenceSystem getTargetCRS()

Returns the target CRS. Conversions may have a target CRS that is not specified here, but through GeneralDerivedCRS instead.

Specified by:

getTargetCRS in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

the target CRS, or null if not available.

See Also:

getTargetCRS(), Transformation.getTargetCRS()

getOperationVersion

@UML(identifier="operationVersion",
     obligation=FORBIDDEN,
     specification=ISO_19111)
default String getOperationVersion()

This attribute is declared in CoordinateOperation but is not used in a conversion.

Specified by:

getOperationVersion in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

usually null.
