Field Detail

SEXAGESIMAL_DMS

public static final Unit<Angle> SEXAGESIMAL_DMS
Pseudo-unit for sexagesimal degree. Numbers in this pseudo-unit has the following format: sign - degrees - decimal point - minutes (two digits) - integer seconds (two digits) - fraction of seconds (any precision). This unit is non-linear and not pratical for computation. Consequently, it should be avoid as much as possible. Unfortunatly, this pseudo-unit is extensively used in the EPSG database (code 9110).


DEGREE_MINUTE_SECOND

public static final Unit<Angle> DEGREE_MINUTE_SECOND
Pseudo-unit for degree - minute - second. Numbers in this pseudo-unit has the following format: signed degrees (integer) - arc-minutes (integer) - arc-seconds (real, any precision). This unit is non-linear and not pratical for computation. Consequently, it should be avoid as much as possible. Unfortunatly, this pseudo-unit is extensively used in the EPSG database (code 9107).


PPM

public static final Unit<Dimensionless> PPM
Parts per million.
