Abstract
A coordinate system converter efficiently converts coordinates of one coordinate system to a different coordinate system. A base system library module provides a common platform where different algorithms based on different coordinate systems can “shake hands” or be integrated into an overall conversion process in a manner that is transparent to each other. The number of supported coordinate systems can be dynamically extended without changing software to support different tools.
