Transform3D Method—ArcGIS Pro

Transforms an array of 3D coordinates. Returns an array of transformed 3D coordinates.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public int Transform3D( 
   Coordinate3D[] inCoordinates,
   ProjectionTransformation projectionTransformation,
   ref Coordinate3D[] outCoordinates
)

Public Function Transform3D( _
   ByVal inCoordinates() As Coordinate3D, _
   ByVal projectionTransformation As ProjectionTransformation, _
   ByRef outCoordinates As Coordinate3D() _
) As Integer

Parameters

inCoordinates: The array of coordinates to be transformed.
projectionTransformation: The projection transformation specifying the input and output spatial references and possibly the geographic transformations to use for the transformation.
outCoordinates: The array of transformed coordinates. If it is null or the length is less than the length of inCoordinates, then a new array will be allocated.

Return Value

The number of transformed coordinates.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Input parameter, inCoordinates, is null.
System.ArgumentNullException	ProjectionTransformation is null.

Remarks

This method should be applied to batches of coordinates for fast projection.

Unlike Transform2D there is no option to preserve all coordinates. This means that any coordinates outside of the horizone will be removed from the output array. The number of initialized elements in the output array is the number of coordinates transformed which may be less than the number of elements in inCoordinates.

Example

// Not all of the input points are transformed as some of them are outside of the GCS horizon.
Coordinate3D[] inCoords3D = new Coordinate3D[]
{
  new Coordinate3D(-1, -1, 0),
  new Coordinate3D(-2, -5, 1),
  new Coordinate3D(-5, -11, 2),
  new Coordinate3D(-10, -19, 3),
  new Coordinate3D(-17, -29, 4),
  new Coordinate3D(-26, -41, 5),
  new Coordinate3D(-37, -5, 6),
  new Coordinate3D(-50, -21, 7),
  new Coordinate3D(-65, -39, 8),
  new Coordinate3D(-82, -9, 9)
};

int arraySize = inCoords3D.Length;

ProjectionTransformation projTrans = ProjectionTransformation.Create(SpatialReferences.WGS84, SpatialReferenceBuilder.CreateSpatialReference(24891));

Coordinate3D[] outCoords3D = new Coordinate3D[arraySize];

// transform and choose to remove the clipped coordinates
int numPointsTransformed = GeometryEngine.Instance.Transform3D(inCoords3D, projTrans, ref outCoords3D);

// numPointsTransformed = 4
// outCoords2D.Length = 4

// outCoords2D[0] = {5580417.6876455201, 1328841.2376554986, 7}
// outCoords2D[1] = {3508774.290814558, -568027.23444226268, 8}
// outCoords2D[2] = {1568096.0886155984, -2343435.4394415971, 9}
// outCoords2D[3] = {57325.827391741652, 1095146.8917508761, 10}
