PrimeMeridian Class

Uses

GeoCalc.Serializable

 

Description

The PrimeMeridian class represents the line of longitude that is designated as 0 degrees.  All other lines of longitude are expressed by the angle by which they deviate from the PrimeMeridian.  Together with the equator of an Ellipsoid, the PrimeMeridian defines the origin of a GeodeticCoordSys.  In GeoCalc, a PrimeMeridian is defined by the angle that separates it from the Greenwich Meridian.

Description

Clone

Inherited from GeoCalc.Serializable

Equals

Value equals comparison. (Overrides Object.Equals()).

Equivalent

Comparison to see if the object obj is "nearly" equal to this. (Overrides the abstract Serializable.Equivalent()).

FromGreenwich

Converts a point from being referenced in terms of Greenwich to being referenced in the object's prime meridian definition.

GetHashCode

Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode()).

StrictlyEquals

Comparison to see if the object obj is exactly equal to this. (Overrides Serializable.StrictlyEquals()).

ToGreenwich

Converts a point from being referenced in terms of the object's prime meridian definition to being referenced in Greenwich.
