| 96 | 96 | A batch coordinate conversion capability currently exists in the MgCoordinateSystemTransformation object. The performance of this capability is expected to increase due to the refactoring of the Transform code proposed immediately above. However, this function requires that, for example, 3D coordinates are provided in three distinct arrays; specifically the easting/X/Longitude coordinates in one distinct array of doubles, the northing/Y/Latitude coordinates in a separate distinct array of doubles, and a third separate and distinct array of double for the elevation/Z/height coordinate. There are few, if any, applications which maintain or utilize coordinate data in this form. Thus, to take advantage of the batch conversion facility currently in place, the tradition form of coordinate data (i.e. double [][3]) has to be reformatted into the distinct array form prior to conversion, and then reformatted back to the traditional form after conversion. Thus, what performance improvement is provided by the batch conversion facility is used up, and then some, by the reformatting process. |
