Interface Projection

All Superinterfaces:
Conversion, CoordinateOperation, IdentifiedObject, Operation, SingleOperation
All Known Subinterfaces:
ConicProjection, CylindricalProjection, PlanarProjection

@Extension
public interface Projection
extends Conversion

A conversion transforming (longitude,latitude) coordinates to cartesian coordinates (x,y).

An unofficial list of projections and their parameters can be found there. Most projections expect the following parameters: "semi_major" (mandatory), "semi_minor" (mandatory), "central_meridian" (default to 0), "latitude_of_origin" (default to 0), "scale_factor" (default to 1), "false_easting" (default to 0) and "false_northing" (default to 0).
