Provides access to members that control a set of geographic transformations.
Product Availability
Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.
Description
Sometimes it is necessary to transform between two geographic coordinate systems where a direct transformation does not exist. A composite geotransformation allows you to create a 'chain' of existing or custom transformations. Each transformation in the set must have its direction set properly.

Inherited Interfaces
| Interfaces | Description | 
|---|---|
| IGeoTransformation | Provides access to members that define a geographic (datum) transformation. | 
| ITransformation | Provides access to members that apply a function (or its inverse) to a set of points or measures. The suffix of each method indicates the type of parameters operated on. | 
CoClasses that implement ICompositeGeoTransformation
| CoClasses and Classes | Description | 
|---|---|
| CompositeGeoTransformation | Performs a sequence of geographic transformations. | 
Remarks
Of the ITransformation interface, only the TransformPointsFF method is implemented.
