Move coordinate-related classes to a dedicated package #16

Closed gwlucastrig closed 2 years ago

gwlucastrig commented 2 years ago

The previous release of Gridfour, 1.0.1, introduced a set of coordinate-transform classes. At the time, I put them in the gvrs package. But I think that they have potential uses for grid-based applications that are unrelated to GVRS. Therefore, I am planning on moving them to their own package, which I will be naming "coordinates".

As a reminder, the long-term goal of Gridfour is to provide tools for general raster applications. The GVRS API is only one of these. For example, the Gridfour project already implemented surface interpolation classes based on B-Splines. And I am currently working on a contouring package similar to The Tinfour Contour package which was developed for our companion project Tinfour.

I anticipate that some of this future work will require access to coordinate transformations, so I will be moving the classes and, in some cases, renaming them. Affected classes include IGridPoint, IModelPoint, IGeoPoint, GridPoint, ModelPoint, and GeoPoint. The existing classes GvrsGeoPoint and GvrsGridPoint will be renamed to a more generic form.

The refactor is complete. Changes pushed to Github main branch.
