Class IdrMercator

java.lang.Object

MapProjection

org.geotools.referencing.operation.projection.IdrMercator

public class IdrMercator
extends MapProjection

Mercator Cylindrical Projection. The parallels and the meridians are straight lines and cross at right angles; this projection thus produces rectangular charts. The scale is true along the equator (by default) or along two parallels equidistant of the equator (if a scale factor other than 1 is used). This projection is used to represent areas close to the equator. It is also often used for maritime navigation because all the straight lines on the chart are loxodrome lines, i.e. a ship following this line would keep a constant azimuth on its compass.

This implementation handles both the 1 and 2 stardard parallel cases. For Mercator_1SP (EPSG code 9804), the line of contact is the equator. For Mercator_2SP (EPSG code 9805) lines of contact are symmetrical about the equator.
