Properties

PropertyTypeNullableReadonlySummary
IsValidboolNoYes

True if a ArcGISSpatialReference can be produced from the current builder properties, false otherwise.

ResolutiondoubleNoNo

The minimum distance that separates unique x,y coordinate values when stored in an ArcGISFeatureTable.

TolerancedoubleNoNo

The minimum distance that determines if two x,y coordinates are considered to be at the same location for relational and topological ArcGISGeometryEngine operations.

UnitArcGISUnitNoYes

The unit of measure for the horizontal coordinate system of this spatial reference.

VerticalResolutiondoubleNoNo

The minimum distance that separates unique z-values when stored in an ArcGISFeatureTable.

VerticalTolerancedoubleNoNo

The minimum distance that determines if two z-values are considered to be at the same location for ArcGISGeometryEngine operations that compare z-values.

VerticalUnitArcGISLinearUnitYesYes

The unit of measure for the vertical coordinate system of this spatial reference, or null if no vertical coordinate system is set for this builder.

VerticalWKIDintNoYes

The well-known ID for the vertical coordinate system (VCS), or 0 if this builder has no VCS or has a custom VCS.

WKIDintNoYes

The well-known ID for the horizontal coordinate system, or 0 if this builder has a custom horizontal coordinate system.

WKTextstringNoYes

The well-known text definition of the horizontal and vertical coordinate systems of this builder.

IsValid

bool IsValid

True if a ArcGISSpatialReference can be produced from the current builder properties, false otherwise.

A spatial reference builder is only considered valid if:

Resolution

double Resolution

The minimum distance that separates unique x,y coordinate values when stored in an ArcGISFeatureTable.

The resolution represents the detail in which a feature class records the location and shape of features, defining the number of decimal places or significant digits stored. It is the minimum distance that separates x,y coordinate values in the ArcGISGeometry of an ArcGISFeature. Any coordinates that differ by less than the resolution will still be stored as the same coordinate value. The units of ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Resolution are the units of the horizontal coordinate system (ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Unit) defined when this builder was created.

ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Resolution must be greater than zero for ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.IsValid to be true and ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.ToSpatialReference to produce a ArcGISSpatialReference. ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Tolerance must also be at least twice ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Resolution.

A separate resolution, ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalResolution, is defined for the distance between z-values.

Tolerance

double Tolerance

The minimum distance that determines if two x,y coordinates are considered to be at the same location for relational and topological ArcGISGeometryEngine operations.

This value is used in relational and topological ArcGISGeometryEngine operations when determining whether two points are close enough, in the horizontal plane, to be considered as the same coordinate value when calculating the result. The units of ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Tolerance are the units of the horizontal coordinate system (ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Unit) defined when this builder was created.

ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Tolerance must be greater than zero and at least twice ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Resolution for ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.IsValid to be true and ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.ToSpatialReference to produce a ArcGISSpatialReference.

A separate tolerance, ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalTolerance, is defined for the difference between z-values.

Unit

The unit of measure for the horizontal coordinate system of this spatial reference.

Also the unit of measure for ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Tolerance and ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Resolution.

VerticalResolution

double VerticalResolution

The minimum distance that separates unique z-values when stored in an ArcGISFeatureTable.

The vertical resolution represents the detail in which a feature class records the location and shape of features, defining the number of decimal places or significant digits stored. It is the minimum distance that separates z-values in the ArcGISGeometry of an ArcGISFeature. Any z-values that differ by less than the vertical resolution will still be stored as the same z-value. The units of ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalResolution are the units of the vertical coordinate system (ArcGISSpatialReference.VerticalUnit) defined when this builder was created, if one was set.

ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalResolution must be greater than zero for ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.IsValid to be true and ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.ToSpatialReference to produce a ArcGISSpatialReference. ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalTolerance must also be at least twice ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalResolution.

A separate resolution, ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Resolution, is defined for the distance between x,y coordinates.

VerticalTolerance

double VerticalTolerance

The minimum distance that determines if two z-values are considered to be at the same location for ArcGISGeometryEngine operations that compare z-values.

This value is used in relational and topological ArcGISGeometryEngine operations when determining whether two z-values are close enough to be considered as the same value when calculating the result. This is currently only used by ArcGISGeometryEngine.Simplify and when the input is a z-aware ArcGISPolyline; it is not used in other methods. The units of ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalTolerance are the units of the vertical coordinate system (ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalUnit) defined when this builder was created, if one was set.

ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalTolerance must be greater than zero and at least twice ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalResolution for ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.IsValid to be true and ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.ToSpatialReference to produce a ArcGISSpatialReference.

A separate tolerance, ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.Tolerance, is defined for the distance between x,y coordinates.

VerticalUnit

ArcGISLinearUnit VerticalUnit

The unit of measure for the vertical coordinate system of this spatial reference, or null if no vertical coordinate system is set for this builder.

Also the unit of measure for ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalTolerance and ArcGISSpatialReferenceBuilder.VerticalResolution.

VerticalWKID

int VerticalWKID

The well-known ID for the vertical coordinate system (VCS), or 0 if this builder has no VCS or has a custom VCS.

WKID

int WKID

The well-known ID for the horizontal coordinate system, or 0 if this builder has a custom horizontal coordinate system.

WKText

string WKText

The well-known text definition of the horizontal and vertical coordinate systems of this builder.

If this coordinate system can only be represented in WKT2 format this property returns an empty string.
