VCS

Zusammenfassung

Provides information about the vertical coordinate system (VCS) component of a SpatialReference object.

Diskussion

Spatial references are comprised of a coordinate system and storage and processing parameters (tolerances and resolution settings). A VCS may also be included, containing information about the Z (or vertical) coordinates. For example, a point has a Z value of 100.0, but without knowing it's VCS information we are left with the following questions:

  • 100.0 from what? What is at 0.0?
  • 100.0 in what units? Meters, feet, miles?
  • 100.0 in which direction from 0.0?

Codebeispiel

import arcpy

# Create a Spatial Reference (Europe Equidistant Conic) with a VCS (EVRF_2007)
sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(102031, 5621)

# Use the SpatialReference as input to a tool
out = arcpy.management.CreateFeatureDataset(outgdb, "euro_fds", sr)

# Describe the output to confirm the VCS factoryCode
sr = arcpy.Describe(out[0]).spatialReference
print(sr.VCS.factoryCode)  # prints 5621
