All Implemented Interfaces:

public class CoordinateReferenceSystem extends Object implements Serializable
Represents a projected or geodetic geospatial coordinate system, to which coordinates may be referenced. A coordinate system is defined by the following things:
  • an Ellipsoid specifies how the shape of the Earth is approximated
  • a Datum provides the mapping from the ellipsoid to actual locations on the earth
  • a Projection method maps the ellpsoidal surface to a planar space. (The projection method may be null in the case of geodetic coordinate systems).
  • a Unit indicates how the ordinate values of coordinates are interpreted
