             Summary: Support PassThroughTransform directly into AbstractMathTransform
                 Key: SIS-318
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-318
             Project: Spatial Information Systems
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Referencing
    Affects Versions: 0.6, 0.5
            Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
            Priority: Minor


Move the {{firstAffectedOrdinate}} and {{numTrailingOrdinates}} fields from {{PassThroughTransform}} to its {{AbstractMathTransform}} parent class. Every {{AbstractMathTransform}} subclasses should then take those fields in account. We expect no performance penalty on {{AbstractMathTransform}} subclasses since it would just change the value in an addition which is applied anyway. On the other hand, it may provide significant performance gain by reducing the need for the {{PassThroughTransform}}, which can hardly implement the {{transform}} method in an efficient way.

It would also make easier to concatenate the matrices of linear transforms. In the current implementation we lost a concatenation opportunity if one linear transform is the last {{MathTransform}} (in a chain of a concatenated transforms) inside the {{PassThroughTransform}}, while the other linear transform is the first {{MathTransform}} outside the {{PassThroughTransform}}. We could move the former linear transform outside the {{PassThroughTransform}}, but it cause confusing WKT to be formatted if the transforms inside the {{PassThroughTransform}} have a {{ContextualParameters}}. We expect that this problem would be solved with the fix proposed in this issue.
