Detailed Description

This class defines the Mercator projection.

The Mercator projection, also known as the Wright projection, is the projection of a sphere on a cylinder that is tangent to the equator. Mercator projections should be limited to equatorial regions, but are frequently used for navigational charts with a latitude of the true scale specified within or near the chart boundaries. With this projection, the regions near the poles cannot be shown.
This projection applies both to spherical and non-spherical ellipsoids and implements an inverse function.
This projection is Conformal.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvMercatorProjection::IlvMercatorProjection ( IlDouble latitudeOfTrueScale = 0. )

Creates an instance of the class IlvMercatorProjection and specifies the latitude of the true scale.

Parameters

latitudeOfTrueScale The latitude of the true scale.

Member Function Documentation

virtual IlvMapsError IlvMercatorProjection::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 IlvMercatorProjection::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.

IlDouble IlvMercatorProjection::getLatitudeOfTrueScale ( ) const

Returns the latitude of the true scale in radian.

Returns: The latitude of the true scale.

virtual IlvMapsError IlvMercatorProjection::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.

void IlvMercatorProjection::setLatitudeOfTrueScale ( IlDouble latitudeOfTrueScale )

Sets the latitude of the true scale in radian.

Parameters

latitudeOfTrueScale The latitude of the true scale.

virtual IlvMapsError IlvMercatorProjection::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 IlvMercatorProjection::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 IlvMercatorProjection::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.
