Class Mercator

java.lang.Object
com.geodesk.geom.Mercator
public class Mercator extends Object
Methods for working with Mercator-projected coordinates. GeoDesk uses a Pseudo-Mercator projection that projects coordinates onto a square Cartesian plane 2^32 units wide/tall (in essence, the value range fully uses a 32-bit signed int; a pair of coordinates fits into a 64-bit signed long). This projection is compatible with Web Mercator EPSG:3785, except that instead of meters at the Equator, it uses a made-up unit called "imp" ("integer, Mercator-projected"). See Coordinate System
