Method Detail

createCoordinateOperation

CoordinateOperation createCoordinateOperation(String code)
                                              throws FactoryException

Parameters:

code - Coded value for transformation.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.
