Class Summary

CylindricalProjection	The CylindricalProjection is a super class for all cylindrical projections.
Mercator	The Mercator projection has following properties: Cylindircal Conformal Meridians are equally spaced straight lines Parallels are unequally spaced straight lines closest near the equator, cutting meridians at right angles.
TransverseMercator	The TransverseMercator projection has following properties: Cylindrical (transverse) Conformal The central meridian, each meridian 90° from central meridian and the equator are straight lines All other meridians and parallels are complex curves Scale is true along central meridian or along two straight lines equidistant from and parallel to central merdian.

Package org.deegree.cs.projections.cylindric Description
