Constructor Details

#initialize(source, target, context = nil) ⇒ Transformation

Transforms a Coordinate from the source Crs to the target Crs. Coordinates should be expressed in the units and axis order of the definition of the source CRS. The returned transformed coordinate will be in the units and axis order of the definition of the target CRS.

For most geographic Crses, the units will be in degrees. For geographic CRS defined by the EPSG authority, the order of coordinates is latitude first, longitude second. When using a PROJ initialization string, on contrary, the order will be longitude first, latitude second.

For projected CRS, the units may vary (metre, us-foot, etc..).

For projected CRS defined by the EPSG authority, and with EAST / NORTH directions, the axis order might be easting first, northing second, or the reverse. When using a PROJ string, the order will be easting first, northing second, except if the +axis parameter modifies it.

Parameters:

  • source (Crs | String) —

    • The source Crs. See the Crs documentation for the string format

  • target (Crs | String) —

    • The target Crs. See the Crs documentation for the string format

  • context (Context) (defaults to: nil)

#forward(coord) ⇒ Coordinate

Transforms a Coordinate from the source Crs to the target Crs. Coordinates should be expressed in the units and axis order of the definition of the source CRS. The returned transformed coordinate will be in the units and axis order of the definition of the target CRS.

Parameters:

  Coordinate.from_coord(struct)
end

#inverse(coord) ⇒ Coordinate

Transforms a Coordinate from the target Crs to the source Crs. Coordinates should be expressed in the units and axis order of the definition of the source CRS. The returned transformed coordinate will be in the units and axis order of the definition of the target CRS.
