Interface CSAuthorityFactory

All Superinterfaces:
AuthorityFactory, Factory

@Extension
public interface CSAuthorityFactory
extends AuthorityFactory

Creates coordinate systems using authority codes. External authorities are used to manage definitions of objects used in this interface. The definitions of these objects are referenced using code strings. A commonly used authority is EPSG, which is also used in the GeoTIFF standard.

Since:
GeoAPI 1.0
Version:
Implementation specification 1.0

Method Detail

createCoordinateSystem

CoordinateSystem createCoordinateSystem(String code)
                                        throws FactoryException
Returns an arbitrary coordinate system from a code. If the coordinate system type is know at compile time, it is recommended to invoke the most precise method instead of this one (for example  createCartesianCS(code)  instead of  createCoordinateSystem(code)  if the caller know he is asking for a cartesian coordinate system).

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createCartesianCS

CartesianCS createCartesianCS(String code)
                              throws FactoryException
Creates a cartesian coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createPolarCS

PolarCS createPolarCS(String code)
                      throws FactoryException
Creates a polar coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createCylindricalCS

CylindricalCS createCylindricalCS(String code)
                                  throws FactoryException
Creates a cylindrical coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createSphericalCS

SphericalCS createSphericalCS(String code)
                              throws FactoryException
Creates a spherical coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createEllipsoidalCS

EllipsoidalCS createEllipsoidalCS(String code)
                                  throws FactoryException
Creates an ellipsoidal coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createVerticalCS

VerticalCS createVerticalCS(String code)
                            throws FactoryException
Creates a vertical coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createTimeCS

TimeCS createTimeCS(String code)
                    throws FactoryException
Creates a temporal coordinate system from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createCoordinateSystemAxis

CoordinateSystemAxis createCoordinateSystemAxis(String code)
                                                throws FactoryException
Returns a coordinate system axis from a code.

Parameters:
code - Value allocated by authority.
Throws:
NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.
FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.

createUnit

@UML(identifier="CS_CoordinateSystemAuthorityFactory.createLinearUnit, createAngularUnit",
     specification=OGC_01009)
Unit createUnit(String code)
                throws FactoryException
Returns an unit from a code.

Parameters:
