Constructor Detail

GRIDnav

public GRIDnav(int[] gridDirBlock)
        throws McIDASException

Construct a new GRIDnav from a grid directory block

Parameters:

gridDirBlock - grid header block

Throws:

McIDASException - illegal grid header

Method Detail

toLatLon

public double[][] toLatLon(double[][] rowcol)

converts from grid coordinates (x,y) or (col, row) to latitude/longitude

Returns:

latlon[][] array of lat/long pairs. Output array is latlon[indexLat][] of latitudes and latlon[indexLon][] of longitudes.

toRowCol

public double[][] toRowCol(double[][] latlon)

toRowCol converts latitude/longitude to grid row/col

Returns:

rowcol[][] array of row/col pairs. Where rowcol[indexRow][] is a row and rowcol[indexCol][] is an column. These are in 'grid' coordinates

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Determines whether or not the Object in question is the same as this AREAnav. Right now, this returns false until we can figure out when two navigations are equal. Subclasses could override if desired.

Parameters:

obj - the AREAnav in question

setStart

public void setStart(int startRow,
                     int startColumn)

define the starting row and column of another coordinate system -- for example (0,0)

Parameters:

startRow - the starting row number in another coordinate system

startColumn - the starting column number in another coordinate system

setFlipRowCoordinates

public void setFlipRowCoordinates(int row)

specify whether the row coordinates are inverted and the row offset.

Parameters:

row - ending row number

isFlippedRowCoordinates

public boolean isFlippedRowCoordinates()

Determine if navigation is using flipped coordinates. This would mean that the start of the coordinate system is in the lower left instead of the upper left.

Returns:

true if using flipped row coordinates, otherwise false

getRowOffset

public double getRowOffset()

Get the row offset for flipped coordinates

Returns:

row offset

getRowIndex

public int getRowIndex()

Get the row index

Returns:

the row index in the returned arrays

getColumnIndex

public int getColumnIndex()

Get the column index

Returns:

the column index in the returned arrays
