Class CassiniSoldnerCoordinate

java.lang.Object

org.episteme.natural.earth.coordinates.CassiniSoldnerCoordinate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, GeometricObject<EarthCoordinate>, Positioned<EarthCoordinate>, EarthCoordinate

public class CassiniSoldnerCoordinate
extends Object
implements EarthCoordinate, Serializable

Represents a coordinate in the Cassini-Soldner projection. Historically used for topographic mapping in the UK, Germany and other countries. It is a transverse cylindrical projection that is neither conformal nor equal-area.
