Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor and Description
InverseCoordinateSystem(RealTupleType reference, CoordinateSystem inv) construct a CoordinateSystem that whose transforms invert the transforms of inverse (i.e., toReference and fromReference are switched); for example, this could be used to define Cartesian coordinates releative to a refernce in spherical coordinates

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	equals(Object cs) Indicates whether or not this instance is equal to an object (note must test for cs == null).
double[][]	fromReference(double[][] tuples) Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.
float[][]	fromReference(float[][] tuples) Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as float[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is float[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.
double[][]	toReference(double[][] tuples) Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.
float[][]	toReference(float[][] tuples) Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as float[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is float[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

                       CoordinateSystem inv)
                        throws VisADException

Method Detail

toReference

public double[][] toReference(double[][] tuples)
                       throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

Specified by:

toReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in coordinateSystem units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of double values in reference coordinates and Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

fromReference

public double[][] fromReference(double[][] tuples)
                         throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

Specified by:

fromReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in reference Units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of double values in CoordinateSystem Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

toReference

public float[][] toReference(float[][] tuples)
                      throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as float[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is float[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array. This implementation converts the input array to doubles and calls CoordinateSystem.toReference(double[][]) and then returns that converted double array back as a float array. For efficiency, subclasses should override this implementation.

Overrides:

toReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in coordinateSystem units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of float values in reference coordinates and Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

fromReference

public float[][] fromReference(float[][] tuples)
                        throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as float[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is float[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array. This implementation converts the input array to doubles and calls CoordinateSystem.toReference(double[][]) and then returns that converted double array back as a float array. For efficiency, subclasses should override this implementation.

Overrides:

fromReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in reference Units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of float values in this CoordinateSystem Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

equals

public boolean equals(Object cs)

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Indicates whether or not this instance is equal to an object (note must test for cs == null).

Specified by:

equals in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

cs - the object in question.

Returns:

true if and only if this instance equals cs.
