public class ProjectionTransverseMercator
extends AbstractGeographicProjection

Provides a Transverse Mercator ellipsoidal projection using the WGS84 ellipsoid. The projection's central meridian may be specified and defaults to the Prime Meridian (0 longitude). By default, the projection computes values for 30 degrees either side of the central meridian. This may be changed via the setWidth(gov.nasa.worldwind.geom.Angle) method, but the projection may fail for large widths.

The projection limits are modified to reflect the central meridian and the width, however the projection limits are clamped to a minimum of -180 degrees and a maximum of +180 degrees. It's therefore not possible to display a band whose central meridian is plus or minus 180.

cartesianToGeographic

public Position cartesianToGeographic(Globe globe,
                                      Vec4 cart,
                                      Vec4 offset)

Description copied from interface: GeographicProjection

Converts a Cartesian point in meters to a geographic position.

Note: The input arguments are not checked for null prior to being used. The caller, typically a Globe2D implementation, is expected do perform that check prior to calling this method.

Parameters:

globe - The globe this projection is applied to.

cart - The Cartesian point, in meters.

offset - An optional offset to be applied to the Cartesian input prior to converting it. Typically only projections that are continuous (see GeographicProjection.isContinuous() apply this offset. Others ignore it. May be null.

Returns:

The geographic position corresponding to the input point.

                                  Vec4 offset)

Description copied from interface: GeographicProjection

Converts a geographic position to meters in Cartesian coordinates.

Note: The input arguments are not checked for null prior to being used. The caller, typically a Globe2D implementation, is expected do perform that check prior to calling this method.

Parameters:

globe - The globe this projection is applied to.

latitude - The latitude of the position.

longitude - The longitude of the position.

metersElevation - The elevation of the position, in meters.

offset - An optional offset to be applied to the Cartesian output. Typically only projections that are continuous (see GeographicProjection.isContinuous() apply this offset. Others ignore it. May be null.

Returns:

The Cartesian point, in meters, corresponding to the input position.

                                  Sector sector,
                                  int numLat,

                                  Vec4[] out)

Description copied from interface: GeographicProjection

Converts a grid of geographic positions to a grid of points in Cartesian coordinates.

This method provides an interface for efficient generation of a grid of cartesian points within a sector. The grid is constructed by dividing the sector into numLon x numLat evenly separated points in geographic coordinates. The first and last points in latitude and longitude are placed at the sector's minimum and maximum boundary, and the remaining points are spaced evenly between those boundary points.

For each grid point within the sector, an elevation value is specified via an array of elevations. The calculation at each position incorporates the associated elevation.

Parameters:

globe - The globe this projection is applied to.

sector - The sector over which to generate the points.

numLat - The number of points to generate latitudinally.

numLon - The number of points to generate longitudinally.

metersElevation - An array of elevations to incorporate in the point calculations. There must be one elevation value in the array for each generated point, so the array must have a length of at least numLon x numLat. Elevations are read from this array in row major order, beginning with the row of minimum latitude.

offset - An optional offset to be applied to the Cartesian output. Typically only projections that are continuous (see GeographicProjection.isContinuous() apply this offset. Others ignore it. May be null.

out - An array to hold the computed cartesian points. It must have a length of at least numLon x numLat. Points are written to this array in row major order, beginning with the row of minimum latitude.
