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.

### copy(self) |
Copy this datum. Returns: The copy, unregistered (Datum or subclass thereof). Overrides: named._Named.copy

### toStr(self, **unused) |
Return this datum as a string. Parameters: `kwds` - Optional, keyword arguments. Returns: Datum attributes (`str`). Overrides: named._NamedBase.toStr

Property Details

### ellipsoid Get this datum's ellipsoid (Ellipsoid). Get Method: ellipsoid(self) - Get this datum's ellipsoid (Ellipsoid). Set Method: Read_Only(self, ignored) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### exactTM Get the `ExactTM` projection (ExactTransverseMercator). Get Method: exactTM(self) - Get the `ExactTM` projection (ExactTransverseMercator). Set Method: Read_Only(self, ignored) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### isEllipsoidal Check whether this datum is ellipsoidal (`bool`). Get Method: isEllipsoidal(self) - Check whether this datum is ellipsoidal (`bool`). Set Method: Read_Only(self, ignored) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### isSpherical Check whether this datum is spherical (`bool`). Get Method: isSpherical(self) - Check whether this datum is spherical (`bool`). Set Method: Read_Only(self, ignored) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.

### transform Get this datum's transform (Transform). Get Method: transform(self) - Get this datum's transform (Transform). Set Method: Read_Only(self, ignored) - Throws an `AttributeError`, always.
