ICoordinateSystem6

This interface gives access to layer and MPT coordinate system information and to methods which enable conversion from one coordinate system to another. Each coordinate system is associated with its Well Known Text (WKT) description, a simple structured, text-based format that is easy to store and share between systems.

 

 

Properties

 

FactorToMeter

The multiplication factor to convert coordinate units to meters.

PrettyWkt

Returns a nicely formatted WKT string for display to a person

WellKnownText

Returns or sets the Well Known Text representation for the selected coordinate system.

WktDescription

Returns the description part of the WKT string.

 

Methods

 

GetFactorToMeterEx

Returns the metric conversion factor for the specified unit.

InitFromBMG

Initializes a projection definition based on the four string keys used in older TerraExplorer version to represent a coordinate system.

InitFromEPSG

Initializes a projection definition based on a numeric EPSG projected coordinate system definition.

InitLatLong

Initializes a Geographic Lat-Long, WGS coordinate system.

IsPlanar

Returns true if the coordinate system is planar.

IsSame

Returns TRUE if the selected coordinate system is the same the specified one.

IsWktValid

Returns TRUE if the coordinate system’s WKT is OK.
