Class LonLatPointFormat

Format for points. It allows you to format points from/to longitude latitude coordinates.

The formatting of coordinates is determined by the pattern string that is passed to the constructor of this class. The EBNF for the pattern syntax is

  pattern     = lon, separator, lat | lat, separator, lon
  lon         = "lon(", axiscoord, ")"
  lat         = "lat(", axiscoord, ")"
  axiscoord   = axis, signcoord | signcoord, axis, signcoord
  signcoord   = sign, coord | coord
  coord       = degrees | degrees, minutes | degrees, minutes, seconds
  degrees     = ( "d" | "D" ), { digit }
  minutes     = ( "m" | "M" ), { digit }
  seconds     = ( "s" | "S" ), { digit }
  axis        = "a"
  digit       = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" ;
  separator   = { ? any character ? }

The table below details the meaning of each pattern character

Symbol	Meaning	Example
d	Integer degrees	354
d<n>	Decimal degrees with <n> fractional digits	d5: 354.25435
D	Integer degrees with degrees symbol	354°
D<n>	Decimal degrees with degrees symbol and <n> fractional digits	D5: 354.25435°
m	Integer minutes	54
m<n>	Decimal minutes with <n> fractional digits	m5: 54.25435
M	Integer minutes with minutes symbol	54'
M<n>	Decimal minutes with minutes symbol and <n> fractional digits	M5: 54.25435'
s	Integer seconds	54
s<n>	Decimal seconds with <n> fractional digits	s5: 54.25435
S	Integer seconds with seconds symbol	54"
S<n>	Decimal seconds with seconds symbol and <n> fractional digits	S5: 54.25435"
+	Coordinate sign. Results in a '-' if the coordinate is negative	-
a	Hemisphere indicator	N, S, E, W

As an example, the default formatting pattern is "lat(+DMS),lon(+DMS)". This results in a format that generates the latitude coordinate, a comma character and the longitude coordinate. Each coordinate is prefixed with a sign followed by integer degrees, minutes, seconds including their respective unit characters (i.e, °, ' and ").
