Method Details

### __init__(self, ellipsoid, transform=None, name=`'````'`) (Constructor) |
New Datum. Parameters: `ellipsoid` - The ellipsoid (Ellipsoid). `transform` - Optional transform (Transform). `name` - Optional, unique name (`str`). Raises: `NameError` - Datum with that `name` already exists. `TypeError` - If `ellipsoid` is not an Ellipsoid or `transform` is not a Transform. Overrides: object.__init__

### __eq__(self, other) (Equality operator) |
Compare this and an other datum. Parameters: `other` - The other datum (Datum). Returns: `True` if equal, `False` otherwise.

### ecef(self, Ecef=None) |
Return ECEF converter. Parameters: `Ecef` - ECEF class to use (EcefKarney, EcefVeness or EcefYou). Returns: An ECEF converter for this `datum` (EcefKarney, EcefVeness or EcefYou). Raises: `TypeError` - Invalid `Ecef`.

### toStr(self, **unused) |
Return this datum as a string. Returns: Datum attributes (`str`). Raises: `AssertionError` - Always, see function notOverloaded. Overrides: named._Named.toStr

Property Details

### ellipsoid Get method: ellipsoid(self) - Get this datum's ellipsoid (Ellipsoid). Set method: immutable(inst, value) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### exactTM Get method: exactTM(self) - Get the `ExactTM` projection (ExactTransverseMercator). Set method: immutable(inst, value) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### isEllipsoidal Get method: isEllipsoidal(self) - Check whether this datum is ellipsoidal (`bool`). Set method: immutable(inst, value) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### isSpherical Get method: isSpherical(self) - Check whether this datum is spherical (`bool`). Set method: immutable(inst, value) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### transform Get method: transform(self) - Get this datum's transform (Transform). Set method: immutable(inst, value) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.
