Field Detail

SEXAGESIMAL_DMS

public static final javax.units.Unit SEXAGESIMAL_DMS

Pseudo-unit for sexagesimal degree. Numbers in this pseudo-unit has the following format: sign - degrees - decimal point - minutes (two digits) - integer seconds (two digits) - fraction of seconds (any precision). This unit is non-linear and not pratical for computation. Consequently, it should be avoid as much as possible. Unfortunatly, this pseudo-unit is extensively used in the EPSG database (code 9110).

DEGREE_MINUTE_SECOND

public static final javax.units.Unit DEGREE_MINUTE_SECOND

Pseudo-unit for degree - minute - second. Numbers in this pseudo-unit has the following format: signed degrees (integer) - arc-minutes (integer) - arc-seconds (real, any precision). This unit is non-linear and not pratical for computation. Consequently, it should be avoid as much as possible. Unfortunatly, this pseudo-unit is extensively used in the EPSG database (code 9107).

PPM

public static final javax.units.Unit PPM

Parts per million.
