ucar.unidata.geoloc.ProjectionImpl

ucar.unidata.geoloc.projection.FlatEarth

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Projection

public class FlatEarth
extends ProjectionImpl

FlatEarth Projection This projection surface is tangent at some point (lat0, lon0) and has a y axis rotated from true North by some angle.

We call it "flat" because it should only be used where the spherical geometry of the earth is not significant. In actuallity, we use the simple "arclen" routine which computes dy along a meridian, and dx along a latitude circle. We rotate the coordinate system to/from a true north system.
