Note : You can also explicitly check the spatial reference by using IClone::IsEqual

Example:

//To check spatial reference efficiently
IPoint pointIn = null;
IPointCollection ptColl = null;
ISpatialReference pSpatialReferenceOfCollection = null;

//The next line will not do anything if the two projections are equal
pointIn.project(pSpatialReferenceOfCollection);
ptColl.updatePoint( 1, pointIn);

project

public void project(ISpatialReference newReferenceSystem)
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException
Projects this geometry into a new spatial reference.

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 Project method must be applied on high-level geometries only. High-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use this method with low-level geometries such as segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, Bézier Curve), paths or rings, they must be wrapped into high-level geometry types.

If a geometry is projected to a projected coordinate system that can't represent the geographic area where the geometry is located (or if trying to move an xy coordinate from outside the projected coordinate system back into geographic), the geometry will be set to empty.

Remarks

Note: This method can only be called upon the top level geometries (Points, Multipoints, Polylines and Polygons). If the from/to spatial references have different geographic coordinate systems, the Project method looks for a GeoTransformationsOperationSet. If the set of Geotransformations is present in memory, Project will use it to perform a geographic/datum Transformation. To use a specific geotransformation, use the IGeometry2::ProjectEx method.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:
project in interface IGeometry
Parameters:
newReferenceSystem - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISpatialReference (in)

                            AutomationException
Deprecated. This method uses C style arrays which are not supported in the ArcGIS API for Java. It is replaced by GeometryEnvironment.replaceSegments(com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISegmentCollection, int, int, com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISegment[]).

Removes and inserts from segments. This method is intended for internal use only.

Description

Removes a specified number (goingAway) of Segments from a Segment Collection starting at a given index and replaces them (starting at the same index) with a specified number (comingIn) of Segments from an array of Segments.

Remarks

ReplaceSegments will return an error ("The index is either too large or too small") if the inputs are inconsistent. For example, specifying index = 4 on a polyline with only 2 segments.

On multipart geometry, segments cannot be replaced on more than one part at the time. For example, an error (("The index is either too large or too small") is returned on a polyline with two parts containing three segments each when specifying index= 2, incoming= 2, removal= 2. The error is returned because the first part doesn't contain enough segments to remove two segments starting at index = 2. This behavior is enforced for performance reasons. Please see the example.

distanceFromCurve is an output parameter that represents the minimum distance between the curve and the input point.

DistanceAlongCurve is an output parameter that represents the distance between the Frompoint of the input curve and the returned point on the curve.

bRightSide is an output parameter that tells if the input point is on the right side of the curve. The direction of the curve determines the right and left sides.

Note: The output geometry must be co-created prior to the query. The output geometry is not co-created by the method; it is populated. This can be used in performance critical situations. For example, creating the geometry only once outside a loop and use the query method could improve performance.

                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException
Reverses the parameterization of the curve ('from' point becomes 'to' point, first segment becomes last segment, etc).

Description

ReverseOrientation changes the direction of the curve without changing the spatial position of the curve. The From Point and To Point of each Segment in each part of the curve are interchanged.

Remarks

The ReverseOrientation method works the same way as the Arcedit FLIP command. It reverses the order of the vertices in the Curve.

Caution should be taken in using ReverseOrientation on Polygons. Since ReverseOrientation changes the direction of each Ring within the Polygon, all Exterior Rings become Interior Rings and vice versa.

Scales about the specified origin using seperate horizonal and vertical scales. The origin point can be in a different spatial reference than the geometry being scaled.

Description

Stretches the Geometry a factor of sX along the X-Axis and a factor of sY along the Y-Axis (where sX is the ratio of Old Width to New Width, and sY is the ratio of Old Height to New Height). The Origin point is the reference Point from which the transformation is performed (Regardless of the location of the Origin point, the Geometry resulting from the transformation is the same, except for a positional offset). The Origin is the only point in the transformation guaranted to remain in the same location after the transformation is complete.

Remarks

Note: Caution must be taken when scaling a CircularArc or a geometry containing CircularArc segments. Unless Abs(ScaleX) = Abs(ScaleY), the resulting CircularArcs will not retain the characteristics of the original geometry (since they remain CircularArcs).
