ICoordinateSystem80

This interface gives access to layer and MPT coordinate system information and to methods which enable conversion from one coordinate system to another. Each coordinate system is associated with its Well-Known Text (WKT) description, a simple structured, text-based format that is easy to store and share between systems.

	Properties
	FactorToMeter	Gets the multiplication factor to convert coordinate units to meters.
	PrettyWkt	Gets a nicely formatted WKT string for display to a person.
	WellKnownText	Gets and sets the Well-Known Text representation for the selected coordinate system.
	WktDescription	Gets the description part of the WKT string.
	Methods
	GetFactorToMeterEx	Returns the metric conversion factor for the specified unit.
	InitFromBMG	Initializes a projection definition based on the four string keys used to represent a coordinate system in an older TerraExplorer version.
	InitFromEPSG	Initializes a projection definition based on a numeric EPSG projected coordinate system definition.
	InitLatLong	Initializes a Geographic Lat-Long, WGS coordinate system.
	IsCompound	Returns TRUE if the coordinate system includes a vertical datum.
	IsGeocentric	Returns TRUE if the coordinate system is geocentric.
	IsPlanar	Returns TRUE if the coordinate system is planar.
	IsSame	Returns TRUE if the selected coordinate system is the same as the specified one.
	IsWktValid	Returns TRUE if the coordinate system’s WKT is valid.
