Method Detail

getCoord

public GeoCoord getCoord(java.awt.Point point)

Get the geographic coordinate which projects to the given screen coordinate.

Specified by:

getCoord in class Projection

Parameters:

point - a point in screen coordinates

Returns:

the geographic coordinate

getWorldShape

public java.awt.Shape getWorldShape()

Get the world shape for this projection. This method determines the shape of the world extent, and returns the corresponding shape.

Specified by:

getWorldShape in class Projection

Returns:

the shape of the world extent.

project

public java.awt.Point project(GeoCoord coord)

Project a geographic coordinate into screen coordinates

Specified by:

project in class Projection

Parameters:

coord - the geographic coordinate

Returns:

the screen coordinate

project

public java.awt.Point[] project(GeoCoord[] coords)

Project a series of geographic coordinate into screen coordinates

Specified by:

project in class Projection

Parameters:

coords - the geographic coordinates

Returns:

the series of screen coordinates

rescale

protected void rescale()

Rescales the projection. This method is called whenever the extents are changed.

Specified by:

rescale in class Projection

setGeoBounds

public void setGeoBounds(GeoBounds bounds)

Set the geographic bounds for the projection. The exact area displayed is dependent on the projection. The bounds are in radian coordinates

Overrides:

setGeoBounds in class Projection

Parameters:

bounds - the geographic bounds
