Method Summary

CT_CoordinateTransformation

createFromCoordinateSystems(CS_CoordinateSystem sourceCS, CS_CoordinateSystem targetCS) Creates a transformation between two coordinate systems.

Method Detail

createFromCoordinateSystems

public CT_CoordinateTransformation createFromCoordinateSystems(CS_CoordinateSystem sourceCS,
                                                               CS_CoordinateSystem targetCS)
                                                        throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Creates a transformation between two coordinate systems. This method will examine the coordinate systems in order to construct a transformation between them. This method may fail if no path between the coordinate systems is found, using the normal failing behavior of the DCP (e.g. throwing an exception).

Parameters:

sourceCS - Input coordinate system.

targetCS - Output coordinate system.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if a remote method call failed.
