Interface CRSAuthorityFactory

All Superinterfaces:

AuthorityFactory, Factory

All Known Implementing Classes:

PseudoEpsgFactory

@UML(identifier="CS_CoordinateSystemAuthorityFactory",
     specification=OGC_01009)
public interface CRSAuthorityFactory
extends AuthorityFactory

Creates coordinate reference systems using authority codes. External authorities are used to manage definitions of objects used in this interface. The definitions of these objects are referenced using code strings. A commonly used authority is EPSG.

Since:

1.0

Method Details

createCoordinateReferenceSystem

@UML(identifier="createHorizontalCoordinateSystem",
     specification=OGC_01009)
CoordinateReferenceSystem createCoordinateReferenceSystem(String code)
                                                   throws NoSuchAuthorityCodeException,
FactoryException

Returns an arbitrary coordinate reference system from a code.

If the coordinate reference system type is known at compile time, then it is recommended to invoke the most precise method instead of this one. For example, it is usually better to invoke createGeographicCRS(code) instead of createCoordinateReferenceSystem(code) if the requested object is known to be a GeographicCRS instance.

Parameters:

code - value allocated by authority.

Returns:

the coordinate reference system for the given code.

Throws:

NoSuchAuthorityCodeException - if the specified code was not found.

FactoryException - if the object creation failed for some other reason.
