Detailed Description

Jacobi's conformal projection of a triaxial ellipsoid.

NOTE: This is just sample code. It is not part of GeographicLib itself.

This is a conformal projection of the ellipsoid to a plane in which the grid lines are straight; see Jacobi, Vorlesungen über Dynamik, §28. The constructor takes the semi-axes of the ellipsoid (which must be in order). Member functions map the ellipsoidal coordinates ω and β separately to x and y. Jacobi's coordinates have been multiplied by (a²−c²)^1/2 / (2b) so that the customary results are returned in the cases of a sphere or an ellipsoid of revolution.

The ellipsoid is oriented so that the large principal ellipse, , is the equator, , while the small principal ellipse, , is the prime meridian, . The four umbilic points, , lie on middle principal ellipse in the plane .

For more information on this projection, see jacobi.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

JacobiConformal() [1/2]

GeographicLib::JacobiConformal::JacobiConformal ( real  a, real  b, real  c  )

inline

Constructor for a trixial ellipsoid with semi-axes.

Parameters

[in]	a	the largest semi-axis.
[in]	b	the middle semi-axis.
[in]	c	the smallest semi-axis.

The semi-axes must satisfy a ≥ b ≥ c > 0 and a > c. This form of the constructor cannot be used to specify a sphere (use the next constructor).

Definition at line 59 of file JacobiConformal.hpp.

JacobiConformal() [2/2]

GeographicLib::JacobiConformal::JacobiConformal ( real  a, real  b, real  c, real  ab, real  bc  )

inline

Alternate constructor for a triaxial ellipsoid.

Parameters

[in]	a	the largest semi-axis.
[in]	b	the middle semi-axis.
[in]	c	the smallest semi-axis.
[in]	ab	the relative magnitude of a − b.
[in]	bc	the relative magnitude of b − c.

This form can be used to specify a sphere. The semi-axes must satisfy a ≥ b ≥ c > 0. The ratio ab : bc must equal (a−b) : (b−c) with ab ≥ 0, bc ≥ 0, and ab + bc > 0.
