Package org.geotools.cs Description

Coordinate Systems implementation. The CoordinateSystem class is the base class for all coordinate systems. Coordinate systems can have an arbitrary number of dimensions. Some are two-dimensional (e.g. GeographicCoordinateSystem and ProjectedCoordinateSystem), while some others are one-dimensional (e.g. VerticalCoordinateSystem and TemporalCoordinateSystem). Those simple coordinate systems can be used as building blocks for more complex coordinate systems. For example, it is possible to construct a three-dimensional geographic coordinate system (latitude, longitude, height above the ellipsoid) with an aggregation of GeographicCoordinateSystem and VerticalCoordinateSystem. Such aggregations are built with CompoundCoordinateSystem.

While it is possible to create coordinate systems by direct instantiation (using their public constructors), the preferred way is to use methods in the CoordinateSystemFactory class. Public constructors are not part of OpenGIS's specification, while CoordinateSystemFactory is. Furthermore, CoordinateSystemFactory's methods can be overridden, which is useful for constructing CoordinateSystems backed by some OpenGIS compliant commercial software.
