Project

Project a point to another spatial reference.

Use case

Being able to project between spatial references is fundamental to a GIS. An example of when you would need to re-project data is if you had data in two different spatial references, but wanted to perform an intersect analysis with the class AGSGeometryEngine.intersection(ofGeometry1:geometry2:) method. This method takes two geometries as parameters, and both geometries must be in the same spatial reference. If they are not, you could first use class AGSGeometryEngine.projectGeometry(_:to:) to convert the geometries so they match.

How to use the sample

Tap anywhere on the map. A callout will display the tapped location's coordinate in the original (basemap's) spatial reference webMercator and in the projected spatial reference wgs84.

How it works

1. Call the static method, class AGSGeometryEngine.projectGeometry(_:to:) passing in the original geometry and a spatial reference to which it should be projected.

Relevant API

• AGSGeometryEngine
• AGSPoint
• AGSSpatialReference

Additional information

In cases where the the output spatial reference uses a different geographic coordinate system than that of the input spatial reference, see the class AGSGeometryEngine.projectGeometry(_:to:datumTransformation:) method that additionally takes in an AGSDatumTransformation parameter.
