Class DefaultVerticalCS

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Formattable, Deprecable, LenientComparable, org.opengis.referencing.cs.CoordinateSystem, org.opengis.referencing.cs.VerticalCS, org.opengis.referencing.IdentifiedObject

public class DefaultVerticalCS extends AbstractCS implements org.opengis.referencing.cs.VerticalCS
A 1-dimensional coordinate system for heights or depths of points. OGC/ISO do not provide an exact definition, since the complexity of vertical CS fall outside the scope of ISO 19111. Some examples of vertical coordinate systems are:
  • Height in metres from a surface dependent on the Earth's gravity field
  • Height or depth represented by an atmospheric or water pressure measurement.
  • Depth represented by the time needed for an echo signal to travel.
  • "Sigma-level depth" (used in oceanography) as a dimensionless quantity.
The above examples show the variety of units of measurement which can be associated to vertical positions.

Immutability and thread safety

This class is immutable and thus thread-safe if the property values (not necessarily the map itself) and the CoordinateSystemAxis instances given to the constructor are also immutable. Unless otherwise noted in the javadoc, this condition holds if all components were created using only SIS factories and static constants.

    • DefaultVerticalCS

      DefaultVerticalCS(Map<String,?> properties, org.opengis.referencing.cs.CoordinateSystemAxis[] axes)
      Creates a new coordinate system from an arbitrary number of axes. This constructor is for implementations of the createForAxes(Map, CoordinateSystemAxis[]) method only, because it does not verify the number of axes.
    • DefaultVerticalCS

      public DefaultVerticalCS(Map<String,?> properties, org.opengis.referencing.cs.CoordinateSystemAxis axis)
      Constructs a coordinate system from a set of properties. The properties map is given unchanged to the super-class constructor. The following table is a reminder of main (not all) properties:
      Recognized properties (non exhaustive list)
      Property name Value type Returned by
      "name" ReferenceIdentifier or String AbstractIdentifiedObject.getName()
      "alias" GenericName or CharSequence (optionally as array) AbstractIdentifiedObject.getAlias()
      "identifiers" ReferenceIdentifier (optionally as array) AbstractIdentifiedObject.getIdentifiers()
      "remarks" InternationalString or String AbstractIdentifiedObject.getRemarks()
      Parameters:
      properties - the properties to be given to the identified object.
      axis - the single axis (e.g. “height” or “depth”).

    • DefaultVerticalCS

      protected DefaultVerticalCS(org.opengis.referencing.cs.VerticalCS cs)
      Creates a new coordinate system with the same values than the specified one. This copy constructor provides a way to convert an arbitrary implementation into a SIS one or a user-defined one (as a subclass), usually in order to leverage some implementation-specific API.

      This constructor performs a shallow copy, i.e. the properties are not cloned.

      Parameters:
      cs - the coordinate system to copy.
      See Also:
    • DefaultVerticalCS

      private DefaultVerticalCS()
      Constructs a new coordinate system in which every attributes are set to a null or empty value. This is not a valid object. This constructor is strictly reserved to JAXB, which will assign values to the fields using reflection.

    • castOrCopy

      public static DefaultVerticalCS castOrCopy(org.opengis.referencing.cs.VerticalCS object)
      Returns a SIS coordinate system implementation with the same values than the given arbitrary implementation. If the given object is null, then this method returns null. Otherwise if the given object is already a SIS implementation, then the given object is returned unchanged. Otherwise a new SIS implementation is created and initialized to the attribute values of the given object.
      Parameters:
      object - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or null if none.
      Returns:
      a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.
    • validateAxis

      final int validateAxis(org.opengis.referencing.cs.AxisDirection direction, javax.measure.Unit<?> unit)
      Returns VALID if the given argument values are allowed for this coordinate system, or an INVALID_* error code otherwise. This method is invoked at construction time. The current implementation accepts only temporal directions (i.e. AxisDirection.UP and AxisDirection.DOWN).
      Overrides:
      validateAxis in class AbstractCS
      Parameters:
      direction - the direction to test for compatibility (never null).
      unit - the unit to test for compatibility (never null).
      Returns:
      AbstractCS.VALID if the given direction and unit are compatible with this coordinate system, AbstractCS.INVALID_DIRECTION if the direction is invalid or AbstractCS.INVALID_UNIT if the unit is invalid.
    • getInterface

      public Class<? extends org.opengis.referencing.cs.VerticalCS> getInterface()
      Returns the GeoAPI interface implemented by this class. The SIS implementation returns VerticalCS.class.
      Note for implementers: Subclasses usually do not need to override this method since GeoAPI does not define VerticalCS sub-interface. Overriding possibility is left mostly for implementers who wish to extend GeoAPI with their own set of interfaces.
      Overrides:
      getInterface in class AbstractCS
      Returns:
      VerticalCS.class or a user-defined sub-interface.
    • forConvention

      public DefaultVerticalCS forConvention(AxesConvention convention)
      Returns a coordinate system equivalent to this one but with axes rearranged according the given convention. If this coordinate system is already compatible with the given convention, then this method returns this.
      Overrides:
      forConvention in class AbstractCS
      Parameters:
      convention - the axes convention for which a coordinate system is desired.
      Returns:
      a coordinate system compatible with the given convention (may be this).

    • createForAxes

      final AbstractCS createForAxes(Map<String,?> properties, org.opengis.referencing.cs.CoordinateSystemAxis[] axes)
      Returns a coordinate system with different axes.
      Overrides:
      createForAxes in class AbstractCS
      Parameters:
      axes - the set of axes to give to the new coordinate system.
      Returns:
      a new coordinate system of the same type than this, but using the given axes.
