Interface DatumFactory

All Superinterfaces:
Factory, Object­Factory
All Known Implementing Classes:
Geodetic­Object­Factory
@UML(identifier="CS_CoordinateSystemFactory", specification=OGC_01009) public interface DatumFactory extends ObjectFactory
Builds up complex datums from simpler objects or values. Datum­Factory allows applications to make datums that cannot be created by a Datum­Authority­Factory. This factory is very flexible, whereas the authority factory is easier to use. So Datum­Authority­Factory can be used to make "standard" datums, and Datum­Factory can be used to make "special" datums.
