Overview

OGC spec description

A coordinate system based on latitude and longitude. Some geographic coordinate systems are Lat/Lon, and some are Lon/Lat. You can find out which this is by examining the axes. You should also check the angular units, since not all geographic coordinate systems use degrees.

Instance Attribute Details

#angular_unit ⇒ Object (readonly)

Returns the AngularUnit. The angular unit must be the same as the CS_CoordinateSystem units.

Class Method Details

.create(name, angular_unit, horizontal_datum, prime_meridian, axis0, axis1, *optional) ⇒ Object

Create a GeographicCoordinateSystem, given a name, an AngularUnit, a HorizontalDatum, a PrimeMeridian, and two AxisInfo objects. The AxisInfo objects are optional and may be set to nil. You may also provide the optional parameters specified by the Info interface.

#get_wgs84_conversion_info(_index) ⇒ Object

Gets details on a conversion to WGS84. Some geographic coordinate systems provide several transformations into WGS84, which are designed to provide good accuracy in different areas of interest. The first conversion (with index=0) should provide acceptable accuracy over the largest possible area of interest.
