Detailed Description

This class defines the Polyconic projection.

The polyconic projection offers a good compromise between shape distortion and area distortion. This projection was selected in 1819 by the first U.S. survey organization for large-scale mapping in the United States. This projection was used until the mid-1950s for standard topographic maps of the United States.

This projection applies to both spherical and non-spherical ellipsoids and implements an inverse function. However, it is impossible to inverse Cartesian coordinates representing a longitude further than 75 degrees from the center of the projection.

This projection is neither conformal nor equal area.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvMapsError IlvPolyconicProjection::eForward ( IlvCoordinate & ll ) const

protectedvirtual

Must be redefined in subclasses to implement the projection for a non spherical ellipsoid.

The default implementation returns IlvProjection::UnsupportedFeatureError().

Parameters

ll	Contains the longitude and latitude coordinates in radian (x = longitude, y = latitude).

Returns: An error code.

Reimplemented from IlvProjection.

virtual IlvMapsError IlvPolyconicProjection::eInverse ( IlvCoordinate & xy ) const

protectedvirtual

Implements the inverse projection for a non spherical ellipsoid.

The default implementation returns IlvProjection::UnsupportedFeatureError().

Parameters

xy	Contains the Cartesian coordinates to inverse.

Returns: An error code.

Reimplemented from IlvProjection.

virtual IlvMapsError IlvPolyconicProjection::setEllipsoid ( const IlvEllipsoid & ellipsoid )

virtual

Sets the ellipsoid used for the projection.

This virtual member function sets the ellipsoid used for the projection. Most of the projections are initialized with a spherical ellipsoid with a radius of 6,370,997 meters.
This function returns IlvMaps::NoError() if the operation is successful or an error status if you specify a non spherical ellipsoid and your type does not support non spherical.

Parameters

ellipsoid The ellipsoid used for the projection.

Returns: IlvMapsError if the ellipsoid does not match the projection.

Reimplemented from IlvProjection.

virtual void IlvPolyconicProjection::setLLCenter	(	IlDouble	lon,
		IlDouble	lat
	)

virtual

Specifies the central meridian and the central parallel (in radian) associated with the projection.

By default, theses values are set to 0. This function is virtual because it can be overridden by subclasses of IlvProjection to update the internal parameters when the center is changed.

Parameters

lon	The central meridian in radian.
lat	The central parallel in radian.

Reimplemented from IlvProjection.

virtual IlvMapsError IlvPolyconicProjection::sForward ( IlvCoordinate & ll ) const

protectedvirtual

Must be redefined in subclasses to implement the projection for a sphere.

Parameters

ll	Contains the longitude and latitude coordinates in radian (x = longitude, y = latitude).

Implements IlvProjection.

virtual IlvMapsError IlvPolyconicProjection::sInverse ( IlvCoordinate & xy ) const

protectedvirtual

Must be redefined in subclasses to implement the inverse projection for a sphere.

The default implementation returns IlvProjection::UnsupportedFeatureError().

Parameters

xy	Contains the Cartesian coordinates to inverse.

Returns: An error code.

Reimplemented from IlvProjection.

virtual void IlvPolyconicProjection::write ( IlvOutputFile & outputFile ) const

virtual

Saves the parameters of a projection to the specified output file.

It must be overridden by subclasses of IlvProjection that need to save additional parameters. This function should not be directly called; use the save function instead.

Parameters

outputFile The file to write the projection parameters to.

Reimplemented from IlvProjection.
