public class AbstractCRS extends AbstractReferenceSystem implements org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem
Coordinate reference system, defined by a coordinate system and (usually) a datum. A coordinate reference system (CRS) consists of an ordered sequence of coordinate system axes that are related to the earth through the datum. Most coordinate reference system do not move relative to the earth, except for engineering coordinate reference systems defined on moving platforms such as cars, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft.

Coordinate reference systems can have an arbitrary number of dimensions. The actual dimension of a given instance can be determined as below:

However, most subclasses restrict the allowed number of dimensions.

Instantiation

This class is conceptually abstract, even if it is technically possible to instantiate it. Typical applications should create instances of the most specific subclass prefixed by Default instead. An exception to this rule may occur when it is not possible to identify the exact CRS type.

Immutability and thread safety

This base class is immutable and thus thread-safe if the property values (not necessarily the map itself) given to the constructor are also immutable. Most SIS subclasses and related classes are immutable under similar conditions. This means that unless otherwise noted in the javadoc, CoordinateReferenceSystem instances created using only SIS factories and static constants can be shared by many objects and passed between threads without synchronization.

    • castOrCopy

      public static AbstractCRS castOrCopy(org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem object)
      Returns a SIS coordinate reference system implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
      • If the given object is null, then this method returns null.
      • Otherwise if the given object is an instance of GeodeticCRS (including the GeographicCRS and GeocentricCRS subtypes), VerticalCRS, TemporalCRS, EngineeringCRS, ImageCRS or DefaultCompoundCS, then this method delegates to the castOrCopy(…) method of the corresponding SIS subclass. Note that if the given object implements more than one of the above-cited interfaces, then the castOrCopy(…) method to be used is unspecified.
      • Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of AbstractCRS, then it is returned unchanged.
      • Otherwise a new AbstractCRS instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, because the other properties contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
      Parameters:
      object - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or null if none.
      Returns:
      a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.
    • getInterface

      public Class<? extends org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem> getInterface()
      Returns the GeoAPI interface implemented by this class. The default implementation returns CoordinateReferenceSystem.class. Subclasses implementing a more specific GeoAPI interface shall override this method.
      Overrides:
      getInterface in class AbstractReferenceSystem
      Returns:
      the coordinate reference system interface implemented by this class.
    • getCoordinateSystem

      public org.opengis.referencing.cs.CoordinateSystem getCoordinateSystem()
      Returns the coordinate system.
      Specified by:
      getCoordinateSystem in interface org.opengis.referencing.crs.CoordinateReferenceSystem
      Returns:
      the coordinate system.
    • forConvention

      public AbstractCRS forConvention(AxesConvention convention)
      Returns a coordinate reference system equivalent to this one but with axes rearranged according the given convention. If this CRS is already compatible with the given convention, then this method returns this.
      Parameters:
      convention - the axes convention for which a coordinate reference system is desired.
      Returns:
      a coordinate reference system compatible with the given convention (may be this).

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object object, ComparisonMode mode)
      Compares this coordinate reference system with the specified object for equality. If the mode argument value is STRICT or BY_CONTRACT, then all available properties are compared including the domain of validity and the scope.
      Specified by:
      equals in interface LenientComparable
      Overrides:
      equals in class AbstractReferenceSystem
      Parameters:
      object - the object to compare to this.
      mode - STRICT for performing a strict comparison, or IGNORE_METADATA for comparing only properties relevant to coordinate transformations.
      Returns:
      true if both objects are equal.

    • computeHashCode

      protected long computeHashCode()
      Invoked by hashCode() for computing the hash code when first needed. See AbstractIdentifiedObject.computeHashCode() for more information.
      Overrides:
      computeHashCode in class AbstractReferenceSystem
      Returns:
      the hash code value. This value may change in any future Apache SIS version.
    • formatTo

      protected String formatTo(Formatter formatter)
      Formats the inner part of the Well Known Text (WKT) representation of this CRS. The default implementation writes the following elements in WKT 2 format:
      • The object name.
      • The datum, if any.
      • All coordinate system's axis.
      • The unit if all axes use the same unit, or nothing otherwise.
      The WKT 1 format is similar to the WKT 2 one with two differences:
      • Units are formatted before the axes instead of after the axes.
      • If no unit can be formatted because not all axes use the same unit, then the WKT is flagged as invalid.
      Overrides:
      formatTo in class AbstractIdentifiedObject
      Parameters:
      formatter - the formatter where to format the inner content of this WKT element.
      Returns:
      the CamelCase keyword for the WKT element, or null if unknown.
