Class Mercator
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable,Parameterized,LenientComparable,MathTransform,MathTransform2D
Description
The parallels and the meridians are straight lines and cross at right angles; this projection thus produces rectangular charts. The scale is true along the equator (by default) or along two parallels equidistant of the equator (if a scale factor other than 1 is used).This projection is used to represent areas close to the equator. It is also often used for maritime navigation because all the straight lines on the chart are loxodrome lines, i.e. a ship following this line would keep a constant azimuth on its compass.
This implementation handles both the 1 and 2 standard parallel cases. For Mercator (variant A) (EPSG code 9804), the line of contact is the equator. For Mercator (variant B) (EPSG code 9805) lines of contact are symmetrical about the equator.
Behavior at poles
The projection of 90°N gives positive infinity. The projection of 90°S gives negative infinity. Projection of a latitude outside the [-90 … 90]° range produces NaN.- Since:

- "Mercator (variant C)".
- "Mercator (Spherical)".
- "Mercator Auxiliary Sphere".
- "Popular Visualisation Pseudo Mercator".
- "Miller Cylindrical".
- Parameters:
method- description of the projection parameters.parameters- the parameter values of the projection to create.

createMapProjection
Returns the sequence of normalization →this→ denormalization transforms as a whole. The transform returned by this method expects (longitude, latitude) coordinates in degrees and returns (x,y) coordinates in metres.The non-linear part of the returned transform will be
thistransform, except if the ellipsoid is spherical. In the latter case,thistransform may be replaced by a simplified implementation.- Overrides:
createMapProjectionin classNormalizedProjection- Parameters:
factory- the factory to use for creating the transform.- Returns:
- the map projection from (λ,φ) to (x,y) coordinates.
- Throws:
FactoryException- if an error occurred while creating a transform.- See Also:
-
getDomain
Returns the domain of input coordinates. For a Mercator projection other than Miller variant, the limit is arbitrarily set to 84° of latitude North and South. This is consistent with the "World Mercator" domain of validity defined by EPSG:3395, which is 80°S to 84°N.The range of longitude values is set to an arbitrary range larger than −180° … +180°, because the Mercator projection is mathematically capable to handle coordinates beyond that range even if those coordinates have no real world meaning. This expansion can facilitate the projection of envelopes, geometries or rasters.
- Overrides:
getDomainin classAbstractMathTransform- Parameters:
criteria- controls the definition of transform domain.- Returns:
- estimation of a domain where this transform is considered numerically applicable.

transform
public Matrix transform(double[] srcPts, int srcOff, double[] dstPts, int dstOff, boolean derivate) throws ProjectionException Projects the specified coordinates (implementation-specific units) and stores the result indstPts. In addition, opportunistically computes the projection derivative ifderivateistrue. The results must be multiplied by the denormalization matrix before to get linear distances.- Specified by:
transformin classNormalizedProjection- Parameters:
srcPts- the array containing the source point coordinates, as (longitude, latitude) angles in radians.srcOff- the offset of the single coordinate tuple to be converted in the source array.dstPts- the array into which the converted coordinates is returned (may be the same thansrcPts). Coordinates will be expressed in a dimensionless unit, as a linear distance on a unit sphere or ellipse.dstOff- the offset of the location of the converted coordinates that is stored in the destination array.derivate-truefor computing the derivative, orfalseif not needed.- Returns:
- the matrix of the projection derivative at the given source position,
or
nullif thederivateargument isfalse. - Throws:
ProjectionException- if the coordinates cannot be converted.- See Also:
-
transform
public void transform(double[] srcPts, int srcOff, double[] dstPts, int dstOff, int numPts) throws TransformException Converts a list of coordinate tuples. This method performs the same calculation than abovetransform(double[], int, double[], int, boolean)method, but is overridden for efficiency.- Specified by:
transformin interfaceMathTransform- Overrides:
transformin classAbstractMathTransform- Parameters:
srcPts- the array containing the source point coordinates.srcOff- the offset to the first point to be transformed in the source array.dstPts- the array into which the transformed point coordinates are returned. May be the same thansrcPts.dstOff- the offset to the location of the first transformed point that is stored in the destination array.numPts- the number of point objects to be transformed.- Throws:
TransformException- if a point cannot be converted.

inverseTransform
protected void inverseTransform(double[] srcPts, int srcOff, double[] dstPts, int dstOff) throws ProjectionException Converts the specified (x,y) coordinates and stores the result indstPts(angles in radians).- Specified by:
inverseTransformin classNormalizedProjection- Parameters:
srcPts- the array containing the source point coordinates, as linear distance on a unit sphere or ellipse.srcOff- the offset of the point to be converted in the source array.dstPts- the array into which the converted point coordinates is returned (may be the same thansrcPts). Coordinates will be (longitude, latitude) angles in radians.dstOff- the offset of the location of the converted point that is stored in the destination array.- Throws:
ProjectionException- if the point cannot be converted.
