Method Detail

getAlbersExtent

public static AimsEnvelope getAlbersExtent(java.lang.String mapString)

The getAlbersExtent method returns an AimsEnvelope object containing the extent of the specified map sheet in BC Albers coordinates. This method is static, and is used without instantiating the AimsMapsheet class. Example use:
AimsEnvelope ext = AimsMapsheet.getAlbersExtent("92G");

Parameters:

mapString - A map sheet identifier within the province of BC. Almost any format will work, but this method will return null if an extent cannot be calculated from the mapString.

getGeographicExtent

public static AimsEnvelope getGeographicExtent(java.lang.String mapString)

The getGeographicExtent method returns an AimsEnvelope object containing the extent of the specified map sheet in geographid (lat-long) coordinates. This method is static, and is used without instantiating the AimsMapsheet class. Example use:
AimsEnvelope ext = AimsMapsheet.getGeographicExtent("92G");

Parameters:

mapString - A map sheet identifier within the province of BC. Almost any format will work, but this method will return null if an extent cannot be calculated from the mapString.
