Project a point from one spatial reference to another.
Being able to project between spatial references is fundamental to a GIS. An example of when you would need to re-project data is if you had data in two different spatial references, but wanted to perform an intersect analysis with the GeometryEngine.Intersect
method. This function takes two geometries as parameters, and both geometries must be in the same spatial reference. If they are not, you could first use GeometryEngine.Project
to convert the geometries so they match.
Tap anywhere on the map. A callout will display the tapped location's coordinate in the original (basemap's) spatial reference and in the projected spatial reference.
- Call the static extension method,
GeometryEngine.Project
, passing in the originalGeometry
and aSpatialReference
to which it should be projected.
- GeometryEngine
- Point
- SpatialReference
In cases where the the output spatial reference uses a different geographic coordinate system than that of the input spatial reference, see the GeometryEngine.project method that additionally takes in a DatumTransformation parameter.
