transform

geo. transform

new transform(options) → {geo.transform}

Description:

  • This purpose of this class is to provide a generic interface for computing coordinate transformations. The interface is taken from proj4js, which also provides the geospatial projection implementation. The interface is intentionally simple to allow for custom, non-geospatial use cases. For further details, see http://proj4js.org/

    The default transforms lat/long coordinates into web mercator for use with standard tile sets.

    This class is intended to be extended in the future to support 2.5 and 3 dimensional transformations. The forward/inverse methods take optional z values that are ignored in current mapping context, but will in the future perform more general 3D transformations.

  • Contains a reference to proj4.defs. The functions serves two purposes.

    1. It is a key value mapping of all loaded projection definitions
    2. It is a function that will add additional definitions.

Arrays are always modified in place. Individual point objects are not altered; new point objects are returned unless no transform is needed.

(inner) parse_projection(value) → {object}

Description:

  • Parse a projection string. If the projection string includes any of +s[123][123]= or +[xyz]off=, those values are converted into a matrix and removed from the projection string. This allows applying affine transforms as specified in Proj 6.0.0 to be used (excluding toff and tscale). This could can be removed once proj4js supports the affine parameters.

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
value string

A proj4 string possibly with affine parameters.
Returns:

An object with a string value 'proj' and optional array values 'matrix' and 'inverse' (either both or neither will be present). The returned matrices are always 16-value arrays if present. The proj value is the proj4 string with the affine parameters removed.
