Coordinate Systems
using the GetAllCoordSysNames method. It also shows how to retrieve a specific
coordinate system using the method GetCoordSys.
// Get the coordinate system service.
ICoordSysService cs = CoreSystem.GetService();
// Get an array of all available coordinate systems.
String[] allCoordSystems = csService.GetAllCoordSysNames();
// Get the needed coordinate systems.
ICoordSys cs = csService.GetCoordSys(“MENTOR:UTM84-31N”);
After getting a reference to the desired coordinate system we can start using different
parts of the CoordSysService.
Coordinate System Converter
The primary coordinate services functionality provided by Ocean deals with converting
position data between coordinate systems or between spherical and projected
representations in the same coordinate system. The concept of a coordinate system
converter is obviously going to play an important role. Converters are implementations of
the ICoordSysConverter interface. ICoordSysConverter is defined as:
public interface ICoordSysConverter
{
PrePostUnitConversions PrePostUC;
Point3 Convert (Point3 point, out ReturnStatus status);
Point3 [ ] Convert (Point3[ ] points, out ReturnStatus status);
ReturnStatus ConvertPoint (ref Point3 point);
ReturnStatus ConvertPointArray (ref Point3 [ ] points);
}
