Interface ICoordinateFrameTransformation

All Superinterfaces:

IGeoTransformation, ITransformation, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

CoordinateFrameTransformation

public interface ICoordinateFrameTransformation
extends IGeoTransformation, Serializable

Provides access to members that control the 3D frame transformation with rotation, translation and scaling.

Description

The Coordinate Frame transformation converts data between geographic coordinate systems. It uses seven parameters including three translations, three rotations, and a scale factor.

The translations are in meters, the rotations are in arc seconds, and the scale factor is in parts per million.

The transformation is done in a XYZ system.

Remarks

The rotation values are defined as counterclockwise as you look towards the origin of the XYZ system.

The Position Vector transformation defines the rotations in the opposite direction. If you change the signs of the rotations for either method, you can apply them to other method.

Product Availability

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

Method Summary

void	getParameters(double[] dx, double[] dy, double[] dz, double[] rx, double[] ry, double[] rz, double[] s) Returns translation, rotation and scale values of the transformation.
void	putParameters(double dx, double dy, double dz, double rx, double ry, double rz, double s) Sets translation, rotation and scale values for the transformation.
