\title{Class "DMS" for degree, minute, decimal second values}
\description{The class provides a container for coordinates stored as degree, minute, decimal second values.}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("DMS", ...)}, converted from decimal degrees using \code{dd2dms()}, or converted from character strings using \code{char2dms()}.
}
\section{Slots}{
\describe{
\item{\code{WS}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"} TRUE if input value negative}
\item{\code{deg}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} degrees}
\item{\code{min}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} minutes}
\item{\code{sec}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} decimal seconds}
\item{\code{NS}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"} TRUE if input value is a Northing}
}
}
\section{Methods}{
\describe{
\item{coerce}{\code{signature(from = "DMS", to = "numeric")}: convert to decimal degrees }
\item{show}{\code{signature(object = "DMS")}: print data values }
}
