Class SpatialReferenceSystem

SpatialReferenceSystem class

Spatial reference system maps coordinates to places on Earth. There are different types of SRS, see Type. What’s more, if type of SRS is Geographic or Projected, SRS can be compound or single, see IsCompound.

public abstract class SpatialReferenceSystem : IdentifiableObject

Properties

NameDescription
virtual AsCompound { get; }Returns this SRS converted to CompoundSpatialReferenceSystem. Use IsCompound to find out if conversion is possible.
virtual AsGeocentric { get; }Returns this SRS converted to GeocentricSpatialReferenceSystem. Use Type to find out if conversion is possible.
virtual AsGeographic { get; }Returns this SRS converted to GeographicSpatialReferenceSystem. Use Type to find out if conversion is possible.
virtual AsLocal { get; }Returns this SRS converted to LocalSpatialReferenceSystem. Use Type to find out if conversion is possible.
virtual AsProjected { get; }Returns this SRS converted to ProjectedSpatialReferenceSystem. Use Type to find out if conversion is possible.
virtual AsVertical { get; }Returns this SRS converted to VerticalSpatialReferenceSystem. Use Type to find out if conversion is possible.
abstract DimensionsCount { get; }Returns number of dimensions in this SRS.
EpsgCode { get; }If this objects identifier is EPSG identifier - return its code. Otherwise - return -1.
abstract GeographicDatum { get; }Returns geographic datum of this SRS.
abstract HasGeographicDatum { get; }Determines whether this SRS has geographic datum. This is true for every geographic, projected and geocentric SRS.
abstract HasPrimeMeridian { get; }Returns whether this SRS has prime meridian. This is true for every geographic, projected and geocentric SRS.
Identifier { get; }Identifier of this identifiable object.
virtual IsCompound { get; }Returns whether this SRS is compound (a union of two SRS). Following combinations of SRS in compound SRS are considered valid: Geographic SRS + Vertical SRS, in this case type of compound SRS will be Geographic. Projected SRS + Vertical SRS, in this case type of compound SRS will be Projected. If combination of SRSs differs, type of compound SRS will be Unknown.
IsSingle { get; }Returns whether this SRS is single (not a union of two SRS).
IsValid { get; }Same as Validate, but don’t return error message.
Name { get; }Name of this object.
abstract PrimeMeridian { get; }Returns prime meridian of this SRS.
abstract Type { get; }Gets type of this SRS, see SpatialReferenceSystemType.
static Etrs89 { get; }ETRS 89 (EPSG:4258) spatial reference system.
static Etrs89LambertAzimuthalEqualArea { get; }ETRS 89 / ETRS Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035) spatial reference system.
static Etrs89LambertConformalConic { get; }ETRS 89 / Lambert Conformal Conic (EPSG:3034) spatial reference system.
static Nad83 { get; }NAD 83 (EPSG:4269) spatial reference system.
static Osgb36 { get; }OSGB 36 (EPSG:4277) spatial reference system.
static Osgb36BritishNationalGrid { get; }OSGB 36 / British National Grid (EPSG:27700) spatial reference system.
static WebMercator { get; }Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) spatial reference system.
static Wgs72 { get; }WGS 72 (EPSG:4322) spatial reference system.
static Wgs84 { get; }WGS 84 (EPSG:4326) spatial reference system.

Methods

NameDescription
static CreateFromEpsg(int)Create a spatial reference system based the specified EPSG code.
static CreateFromWkt(string)Creates a new SpatialReferenceSystem based on WKT (Well-Known Text) string.
CreateTransformationTo(SpatialReferenceSystem)Creates transformation from this SpatialReferenceSystem to another SpatialReferenceSystem.
ExportToWkt()Returns representation of this SRS as WKT string. The result WKT string will match OGC 01-009 specification, usually named “WKT1”.
abstract GetAxis(int)Get Axis that describes dimension.
abstract GetUnit(int)Get Unit of dimension.
virtual IsEquivalent(SpatialReferenceSystem)Detects whether this SRS is equivalent to other SRS. .
override ToString()Returns a string that represents the current object.
TryCreateTransformationTo(SpatialReferenceSystem, out SpatialReferenceSystemTransformation)Creates transformation from this SpatialReferenceSystem to another SpatialReferenceSystem.
abstract Validate(out string)Determine if this SRS is valid.
static CreateCompound(string, SpatialReferenceSystem, SpatialReferenceSystem, Identifier)Create compound SRS.
static CreateGeocentric(GeocentricSpatialReferenceSystemParameters, Identifier)Create geocentric SRS from custom parameters.
static CreateGeographic(GeographicSpatialReferenceSystemParameters, Identifier)Create geographic SRS from custom parameters.
static CreateLocal(string, LocalDatum, Unit, ICollection<Axis>, Identifier)Create local SRS.
static CreateProjected(ProjectedSpatialReferenceSystemParameters, Identifier)Create projected SRS from custom parameters.
static CreateVertical(string, VerticalDatum, Unit, Axis, Identifier)Create vertical SRS.
static IsEquivalent(SpatialReferenceSystem, SpatialReferenceSystem)Determines if two SRS are equivalent. Same coordinates of equivalent SRS match same place on Earth. Some parameters of equivalent SRS can be different, for example Name.
static TryCreateFromEpsg(int, out SpatialReferenceSystem)Create a spatial reference system based the specified EPSG code.
static TryCreateFromWkt(string, out SpatialReferenceSystem)Creates a new SpatialReferenceSystem based on WKT (Well-Known Text) string.
