Class LatitudeLongitude

java.lang.Object
  uk.me.jstott.coordconv.LatitudeLongitude

public class LatitudeLongitude
extends java.lang.Object

An object to represent a latitude and longitude pair. Latitudes and longitudes are used to represent a point on a spherical surface, for example, a point on the surface of Earth. Latitudes and longitudes are measured in degrees, minutes and seconds. For more information on using this class, look at http://www.jstott.me.uk/jsuntimes/

Constructor Detail

LatitudeLongitude

public LatitudeLongitude(double lat,
                         double lng)

Construct a latitude and longitude pair. Negative values of lat and lng are Southerly latitudes and easterly longitudes respectively.

Parameters:

lat - the latitude

lng - the longitude

Since:

0.1

LatitudeLongitude

public LatitudeLongitude(int northSouth,
                         int degreesLat,
                         int minutesLat,
                         double secondsLat,
                         int eastWest,
                         int degreesLong,
                         int minutesLong,
                         double secondsLong)

Construct a latitude and longitude pair.

Parameters:

northSouth - one of LatitudeLongitude.NORTH and LatitudeLongitude.SOUTH to represent whether the given latitude is north or south of the equator respectively

degreesLat - degrees of latitude

minutesLat - minutes of latitude

secondsLat - seconds of latitude

eastWest - one of LatitudeLongitude.East and LatitudeLongitude.WEST to represent whether the given longitude is east or west of the Greenwich Meridian respectively

degreesLong - degrees of longitude

minutesLong - minutes of longitude

secondsLong - seconds of longitude

LatitudeLongitude

public LatitudeLongitude(int degreesLat,
                         int minutesLat,
                         double secondsLat,
                         int degreesLong,
                         int minutesLong,
                         double secondsLong)

Construct a latitude and longitude pair. Negative values of degreesLat represent latitudes south of the equator. Negative values of degreesLong represent longitudes west of the Greenwich Meridian.

Parameters:

degreesLat - degrees of latitude

minutesLat - minutes of latitude

secondsLat - seconds of latitude

degreesLong - degrees of longitude

minutesLong - minutes of longitude

secondsLong - seconds of longitude
