Hi Nate,
Have you looked at using the values returned from
Projection.getProjectionParameters? Here's some snippets from our code base...
====
Projection projection = ...
// put in form that's a little easier to interrogate...
Map<String, Parameter> parameterMap = new HashMap<String, Parameter>();
for (Parameter p : projection.getProjectionParameters()) {
parameterMap.put(p.getName(), p);
}
// check projection type
Parameter p = parameterMap.get("grid_mapping_name");
String gridMappingName = p == null ?
"LatLon" : // or "latitude_longitude"
p.getStringValue();
if ("lambert_conformal_conic".equals(gridMappingName)) {
Parameter p = parameterMap.get("earth_radius");
double earthRadius = p == null ? Double.NaN : p.getNumericValue();
// repeat for desired parameters:
