    • fromGars

      public static Point fromGars(String coordinates, SpatialReference spatialReference, CoordinateFormatter.GarsConversionMode conversionMode)
      Parses coordinates in Global Area Reference System (GARS) notation, and returns a Point representing that location. The spatial reference provided must have an ellipsoid and datum matching those used by the source of the GARS string. If no spatial reference is provided, it is assumed the GARS string is referenced to WGS84.

      The GARS string must not contain any whitespace. GARS notation examples:

      • 354ND
      • 354ND22
      Parameters:
      coordinates - a GARS notation string for the coordinates
      spatialReference - a spatial reference that defines the datum and ellipsoid referenced by the GARS coordinates If it is null, WGS84 will be used.
      conversionMode - select whether the returned point's location represents the south-west corner of the GARS cell the coordinates lies within, or its center
      Returns:
      a point with the location from the GARS string in the spatial reference provided
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the coordinates or the conversionMode is null
      ArcGISRuntimeException - if the given string is not valid GARS notation
      Since:
      100.1.0

    • fromGeoRef

The spatial reference provided must have an ellipsoid and datum matching those used by the source of the GEOREF string. If no spatial reference is provided, it is assumed the GEOREF string is referenced to WGS84.

      The GEOREF string may contain leading and trailing whitespace. Here some GEOREF notation examples:

      • MKML5056

    • fromLatitudeLongitude

      public static Point fromLatitudeLongitude(String coordinates, SpatialReference spatialReference)
      Parses coordinates in latitude-longitude notation, and returns a Point representing that location.

      The coordinates may use decimal degrees, degrees and decimal minutes, or degrees, minutes, and seconds format. The spatial reference provided must have an ellipsoid and datum matching those used by the source of the latitude-longitude string.

      The latitude-longitude string may contain leading and trailing whitespace, and may also contain a space, comma, or vertical bar symbol to separate the latitude from the longitude. It may also contain the characters 'N', 'S', 'E' and 'W', or use a minus (-) symbol to indicate the hemisphere of each value.

      The latitude-longitude string will contain a space separating the latitude from the longitude value, and the characters 'N' or 'S', and 'E' and 'W', to indicate the hemisphere of each value. The string will also contain spaces separating the components (degrees, minutes, seconds) of each value. The precision of the output is controlled by both the LatitudeLongitudeFormat and decimalPlaces parameters.
