Method Detail

project5

public void project5(ISpatialReference newSpatialReference,
                     int projectionHint)
              throws java.io.IOException,
                     AutomationException

Same as Project, but with additional parameter projectionHint.

Description

To Project, the geometry needs to have a Spatial Reference set, and not have an UnknownCoordinateSystem. The new spatial reference system passed to the method defines the output coordinate system. If either spatial reference is Unknown, the coordinates are not changed. The Z and measure values are not changed by the Project method.

A geometry is not densified before it is projected. This can lead to the output geometries not reflecting the 'true' shape in the new coordinate system. A straight line in one coordinate system is not necessarily a straight line in a different coordinate system. Use IGeometry2::ProjectEx if you want to densify the geometries while they are projected.

The projectionHint parameter contains information about whether a geometry will cross the coordinate system horizons. If it doesn't, parts of the code that check this and intersect the geometry with the horizons can be omitted. This can dramatically improve performance. Use ISpatialReference3::ProjectionHint to initialize this parameter.

Parameters:

newSpatialReference - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISpatialReference (in)

projectionHint - The projectionHint (in)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

projectEx5

public void projectEx5(ISpatialReference newReferenceSystem,
                       int direction,
                       ITransformation transformation,
                       boolean bAngularDensify,
                       double maxSegmentLength,
                       double maxDeviation,
                       int projectionHint)
                throws java.io.IOException,
                       AutomationException

Same as ProjectEx, but with additional parameter projectionHint.

Description

The projectionHint parameter contains information about whether a geometry will cross the coordinate system horizons. If it doesn't, parts of the code that check this and intersect the geometry with the horizons can be omitted. This can dramatically improve performance. Use ISpatialReference3::ProjectionHint to initialize this parameter.

Remarks

By default, ProjectEx will not densify geometries as they are projected. This can lead to the output geometries not reflecting the 'true' shape in the new coordinate system. A straight line in one coordinate system is not necessarily a straight line in a different coordinate system. Set the bAngularDensify parameter if you want to densify the geometries while they are projected.

Parameters:

newReferenceSystem - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISpatialReference (in)

direction - A com.esri.arcgis.geometry.esriTransformDirection constant (in)

transformation - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ITransformation (in)

bAngularDensify - The bAngularDensify (in)

maxSegmentLength - The maxSegmentLength (in)

maxDeviation - The maxDeviation (in)

projectionHint - The projectionHint (in)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getCentroidEx

public IPoint getCentroidEx()
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            AutomationException

The center of gravity (centroid).

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IPoint

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
