Class GridCoordinateSystem

java.lang.Object

visad.CoordinateSystem

visad.GridCoordinateSystem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class GridCoordinateSystem
extends CoordinateSystem

GridCoordinateSystem is the VisAD CoordinateSystem class for grids defined by GriddedSets.

It should be used as the CoordinateSystem of an IntegerSet describing the set of grid values (so the dimensions of the IntegerSet should match the dimensions of the GriddedSet argument to the GridCoordinateSystem constructor) where the reference RealTupleType describes the value space of the GriddedSet.

Constructor and Description

GridCoordinateSystem(GriddedSet s) construct a CoordinateSystem for grid coordinates (e.g., (row, column, level) in 3-D) relative to the value space of set; for example, if satellite pixel locations are defined by explicit latitudes and longitude, these could be used to construct a Gridded2DSet which could then be used to construct a GridCoordinateSystem for (ImageLine, ImageElement) coordinates relative to reference coordinates (Latitude, Longitude)

boolean	equals(Object cs) Indicates whether or not this instance is equal to an object (note must test for cs == null).
double[][]	fromReference(double[][] tuples) Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

GriddedSet	getGriddedSet() Returns the GriddedSet associated with this instance.
double[][]	toReference(double[][] tuples) Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

Constructor Detail

GridCoordinateSystem

public GridCoordinateSystem(GriddedSet s)
                     throws VisADException

construct a CoordinateSystem for grid coordinates (e.g., (row, column, level) in 3-D) relative to the value space of set; for example, if satellite pixel locations are defined by explicit latitudes and longitude, these could be used to construct a Gridded2DSet which could then be used to construct a GridCoordinateSystem for (ImageLine, ImageElement) coordinates relative to reference coordinates (Latitude, Longitude)

Throws:

VisADException

Method Detail

getGriddedSet

public GriddedSet getGriddedSet()

Returns the GriddedSet associated with this instance.

Returns:

The GriddedSet associated with this instance.

toReference

public double[][] toReference(double[][] tuples)
                       throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

Specified by:

toReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in coordinateSystem units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of double values in reference coordinates and Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

fromReference

public double[][] fromReference(double[][] tuples)
                         throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as double[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is double[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array.

Specified by:

fromReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in reference Units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of double values in CoordinateSystem Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

toReference

public float[][] toReference(float[][] tuples)
                      throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values to Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as float[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is float[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array. This implementation converts the input array to doubles and calls CoordinateSystem.toReference(double[][]) and then returns that converted double array back as a float array. For efficiency, subclasses should override this implementation.

Overrides:

toReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in coordinateSystem units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of float values in reference coordinates and Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

fromReference

public float[][] fromReference(float[][] tuples)
                        throws VisADException

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Convert RealTuple values from Reference coordinates; for efficiency, input and output values are passed as float[][] arrays rather than RealTuple[] arrays; the array organization is float[tuple_dimension][number_of_tuples]; can modify and return argument array. This implementation converts the input array to doubles and calls CoordinateSystem.toReference(double[][]) and then returns that converted double array back as a float array. For efficiency, subclasses should override this implementation.

Overrides:

fromReference in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

tuples - array of values assumed to be in reference Units. Input array is not guaranteed to be immutable and could be used for return.

Returns:

array of float values in this CoordinateSystem Units.

Throws:

VisADException - if problem with conversion.

equals

public boolean equals(Object cs)

Description copied from class: CoordinateSystem

Indicates whether or not this instance is equal to an object (note must test for cs == null).

Specified by:

equals in class CoordinateSystem

Parameters:

cs - the object in question.

Returns:

true if and only if this instance equals cs.
