Parameters

[in]

   is a parameter of type VARIANT_BOOL

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

The IsLatitude property sets an indicator that tells whether the curvature of the coordinate system causes latitude labels to be placed on top or below the dataframe border, or for longitude labels that appear to the right or left of the dataframe border. It also determines the directional label appended to the format when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ShowDirections are:

Setting	Description
False	(Default) Latitude labels are placed on top of the dataframe border. Longitude labels are placed to the left of the dataframe border. If ShowDirections is True, a directional letter designation of either E or W is appended to the format, for example, 23°E.
True	Latitude labels are placed below the dataframe border. Longitude labels are placed to the right of the dataframe border. If ShowDirections is True, a directional letter designation of either N or S is appended to the format, for example, 17°N.
