Cartography Properties

Properties

EastOrigin Get the origin easting coordinate of the local grid coordinate system.

For geographical map projections ((lon,lat) coordinates), this has no meaning (has the same value as the LonOrigin)

LatOrigin Get the origin latitude coordinate of the local grid coordinate system.
LonOrigin Get the origin longitude coordinate of the local grid coordinate system.
NorthOrigin Get the origin northing coordinate of the local grid coordinate system.

For geographical map projections ((lon,lat) coordinates), this has no meaning (has the same value as the LatOrigin)

Orientation Get the orientation of the local grid coordinate system in the geographical coordinate system.

The orientation is the angle in degrees between true north and the coordinate system y-axis in degrees, measured positive clockwise from true north.

OrientationProj Get the orientation of the local grid coordinate system in the projected coordinate system.

The orientation is the angle in degrees between projection north and the coordinate system y-axis in degrees, measured positive clockwise from projection north.

For geographical map projections ((lon,lat) coordinates), this has no meaning (has the same value as the Orientation)

Projection Get the map projection that this cartography object uses.
ProjectionName The short name of a projection.

The short name is not unique amongst all WKT projections

If the ProjectionString is not a WKT projection string, the ProjectionString itself is returned as the short name.

ProjectionNorth Returns the angle between projection north and a line parallel to the local grid.

This is NOT the same as the Orientation, the orientation is towards true north, this is towards projection north.


Obsolete
ProjectionString Returns the WKT projection string, or one of the projection abbreviation strings.
