Converting from Decimal degrees to Degrees Minutes Seconds tenths.
Here is a class I made time ago.
public class SexagesimalAngle
{
public bool IsNegative { get; set; }
public int Degrees { get; set; }
public int Minutes { get; set; }
public int Seconds { get; set; }
public int Milliseconds { get; set; }
public static SexagesimalAngle FromDouble(double angleInDegrees)
{
//ensure the value will fall within the primary range [-180.0..+180.0]
while (angleInDegrees < -180.0)
angleInDegrees += 360.0;
while (angleInDegrees > 180.0)
angleInDegrees -= 360.0;
var result = new SexagesimalAngle();
//switch the value to positive
result.IsNegative = angleInDegrees < 0;
angleInDegrees = Math.Abs(angleInDegrees);
//gets the degree
result.Degrees = (int)Math.Floor(angleInDegrees);
var delta = angleInDegrees - result.Degrees;
//gets minutes and seconds
var seconds = (int)Math.Floor(3600.0 * delta);
result.Seconds = seconds % 60;
result.Minutes = (int)Math.Floor(seconds / 60.0);
delta = delta * 3600.0 - seconds;
//gets fractions
result.Milliseconds = (int)(1000.0 * delta);
return result;
}
public override string ToString()
{
var degrees = this.IsNegative
? -this.Degrees
: this.Degrees;
return string.Format(
"{0}° {1:00}' {2:00}\"",
degrees,
this.Minutes,
this.Seconds);
}
public string ToString(string format)
{
switch (format)
{
case "NS":
return string.Format(
"{0}° {1:00}' {2:00}\".{3:000} {4}",
this.Degrees,
this.Minutes,
this.Seconds,
this.Milliseconds,
this.IsNegative ? 'S' : 'N');
case "WE":
return string.Format(
"{0}° {1:00}' {2:00}\".{3:000} {4}",
this.Degrees,
this.Minutes,
this.Seconds,
this.Milliseconds,
this.IsNegative ? 'W' : 'E');
default:
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
}
I think this should do it.
double decimal_degrees;
// set decimal_degrees value here
double minutes = (decimal_degrees - Math.Floor(decimal_degrees)) * 60.0;
double seconds = (minutes - Math.Floor(minutes)) * 60.0;
double tenths = (seconds - Math.Floor(seconds)) * 10.0;
// get rid of fractional part
minutes = Math.Floor(minutes);
seconds = Math.Floor(seconds);
tenths = Math.Floor(tenths);
