java.lang.Object
  org.jdesktop.swingx.mapviewer.GeoPosition

public class GeoPosition
extends Object

An immutable coordinate in the real (geographic) world, composed of a latitude and a longitude.

Constructor Summary

GeoPosition(double[] coords)
Creates a new instance of GeoPosition from the specified latitude and longitude as an array of two doubles, with the latitude first.

GeoPosition(double latitude, double longitude)
Creates a new instance of GeoPosition from the specified latitude and longitude.

GeoPosition(double latDegrees, double latMinutes, double latSeconds, double lonDegrees, double lonMinutes, double lonSeconds)
Creates a new instance of GeoPosition from the specified latitude and longitude.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object obj) Returns true the specified GeoPosition and this GeoPosition represent the exact same latitude and longitude coordinates.
double	getLatitude() Get the latitude as decimal degrees
double	getLongitude() Get the longitude as decimal degrees
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.

Constructor Detail

GeoPosition

public GeoPosition(double latitude,
                   double longitude)

Creates a new instance of GeoPosition from the specified latitude and longitude. These are double values in decimal degrees, not degrees, minutes, and seconds. Use the other constructor for those.

Parameters:

latitude - a latitude value in decmial degrees

longitude - a longitude value in decimal degrees

GeoPosition

public GeoPosition(double[] coords)

Creates a new instance of GeoPosition from the specified latitude and longitude as an array of two doubles, with the latitude first. These are double values in decimal degrees, not degrees, minutes, and seconds. Use the other constructor for those.

Parameters:

coords - latitude and longitude as a double array of length two

GeoPosition

public GeoPosition(double latDegrees,
                   double latMinutes,
                   double latSeconds,
                   double lonDegrees,
                   double lonMinutes,
                   double lonSeconds)

Creates a new instance of GeoPosition from the specified latitude and longitude. Each are specified as degrees, minutes, and seconds; not as decimal degrees. Use the other constructor for those.

Parameters:

latDegrees - the degrees part of the current latitude

latMinutes - the minutes part of the current latitude

latSeconds - the seconds part of the current latitude

lonDegrees - the degrees part of the current longitude

lonMinutes - the minutes part of the current longitude

lonSeconds - the seconds part of the current longitude

Method Detail

getLatitude

public double getLatitude()

Get the latitude as decimal degrees

Returns:

the latitude as decimal degrees

getLongitude

public double getLongitude()

Get the longitude as decimal degrees

Returns:

the longitude as decimal degrees

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Returns true the specified GeoPosition and this GeoPosition represent the exact same latitude and longitude coordinates.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - a GeoPosition to compare this GeoPosition to

Returns:

returns true if the specified GeoPosition is equal to this one

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:
