TransformationCatalog class abstract final

Allows discovery and management of the transformations used to convert coordinates between different datums.

The transformation catalog class provides a mechanism for discovering available DatumTransformation objects. You can retrieve the default transformation used internally to convert coordinates, and find other available transformations. An area of interest may be taken into account.

This class also allows you to set the location where Projection Engine data files needed for some transformations are found on local storage. The TransformationCatalog.projectionEngineDirectory property must be set at process startup. Projection Engine data files are available in the downloads area of developers.arcgis.com (requires login).

The default transformation used when reprojecting geometries is the most suitable available transformation across the area covered by the input and output spatial references. You can sometimes get a more suitable transformation for work within a smaller area by specifying the extent of your specific work area, using TransformationCatalog.getTransformation.

Static Methods

getTransformation({required SpatialReference inputSpatialReference, required SpatialReference outputSpatialReference, Envelope? areaOfInterest, bool ignoreVertical = false}) DatumTransformation?
Returns the best usable transformation used to transform between the input and output spatial references, taking into account the area of interest, if specified. Optionally disregards any vertical transformations.
getTransformationsBySuitability({required SpatialReference inputSpatialReference, required SpatialReference outputSpatialReference, Envelope? areaOfInterest, bool ignoreVertical = false}) List<DatumTransformation>
Returns a collection of transformations suitable for projecting between the input and output spatial references, taking into account the area of interest, if specified. Optionally checks for suitable vertical transformations.
