Detailed Description

A map projection where longitude and latitude are mapped using an Ellipsoid.

The longitude and latitude are linearly mapped to X and Y by multiplying them (in radians) by the Ellipsoid::getMaximumRadius(). This projection is commonly known as geographic, equirectangular, equidistant cylindrical, or plate carrée. It is also known as EPSG:4326.

project() [1/2]

glm::dvec3 CesiumGeospatial::GeographicProjection::project ( const Cartographic &  cartographic ) const

noexcept

Converts geodedic ellipsoid coordinates to geographic coordinates.

Converts geodetic ellipsoid coordinates, in radians, to the equivalent geographic X, Y, Z coordinates expressed in meters. The height is copied unmodified to the z coordinate.

Parameters

cartographic

The geodetic coordinates in radians.

Returns

The equivalent geographic X, Y, Z coordinates, in meters.

project() [2/2]

CesiumGeometry::Rectangle CesiumGeospatial::GeographicProjection::project ( const CesiumGeospatial::GlobeRectangle &  rectangle ) const

noexcept

Projects a globe rectangle to geographic coordinates.

This is done by projecting the southwest and northeast corners.

Parameters

rectangle

The globe rectangle to project.

Returns

The projected rectangle.

unproject() [1/3]

CesiumGeospatial::GlobeRectangle CesiumGeospatial::GeographicProjection::unproject ( const CesiumGeometry::Rectangle &  rectangle ) const

noexcept

Unprojects a geographic rectangle to the globe.

This is done by unprojecting the southwest and northeast corners.

Parameters

rectangle

The rectangle to unproject.

Returns

The unprojected rectangle.

unproject() [2/3]

Cartographic CesiumGeospatial::GeographicProjection::unproject ( const glm::dvec2 &  projectedCoordinates ) const

noexcept

Converts geographic coordinates to geodetic ellipsoid coordinates.

Converts geographic X and Y coordinates, expressed in meters, to a Cartographic containing geodetic ellipsoid coordinates. The height is set to 0.0.

Parameters

projectedCoordinates

The geographic projected coordinates to unproject.

Returns

The equivalent cartographic coordinates.

unproject() [3/3]

Cartographic CesiumGeospatial::GeographicProjection::unproject ( const glm::dvec3 &  projectedCoordinates ) const

noexcept

Converts geographic coordinates to geodetic ellipsoid coordinates.

Converts geographic X, Y coordinates, expressed in meters, to a Cartographic containing geodetic ellipsoid coordinates. The Z coordinate is copied unmodified to the height.

Parameters

projectedCoordinates

The geographic projected coordinates to unproject, with height (z) in meters.

Returns

The equivalent cartographic coordinates.
