Detailed Description

Class for doing transforms between two map coordinate systems.

This class can convert map coordinates to a different coordinate reference system. It is normally associated with a map layer and is used to transform between the layer's coordinate system and the coordinate system of the map canvas, although it can be used in a more general sense to transform coordinates.

All references to source and destination coordinate systems refer to layer and map canvas respectively. All operations are from the perspective of the layer. For example, a forward transformation transforms coordinates from the layers coordinate system to the map canvas.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Enum used to indicate the direction (forward or inverse) of the transform.

Enumerator:
ForwardTransform 

Transform from source to destination CRS.

ReverseTransform 

Transform from destination to source CRS.

signal

Signal when an invalid pj_transform() has occured.

bool QgsCoordinateTransform::isInitialised ( ) const
inline

Flag to indicate whether the coordinate systems have been initialised

Returns
true if initialised, otherwise false
bool QgsCoordinateTransform::isShortCircuited ( )
inline

See if the transform short circuits because src and dest are equivalent

Returns
bool True if it short circuits
bool QgsCoordinateTransform::readXML ( QDomNode &  theNode)
slot

Restores state from the given Dom node.

Parameters
theNodeThe node from which state will be restored
Returns
bool True on success, False on failure
void QgsCoordinateTransform::setDestCRS ( const QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem theCRS)

Mutator for dest QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem

Parameters
theCRSof the destination coordinate system
void QgsCoordinateTransform::setDestCRSID ( long  theCRSID)

Change the destination coordinate system by passing it a qgis srsid A QGIS srsid is a unique key value to an entry on the tbl_srs in the srs.db sqlite database.

Note
This slot will usually be called if the project properties change and a different coordinate system is selected.
This coord transform will be reinitialised when this slot is called to check if short circuiting is needed or not etc.
Parameters
theCRSID- A long representing the srsid of the srs to be used

todo Add some logic here to determine if the srsid is a system or user one
