Transform3D Method (GeometryEngine)

In This Topic

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

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

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

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

Parameters

inCoordinates: The set 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 set of transformed coordinates. If it is null or the length is less than the length of inCoordinates, then a new array will be allocated.
removeClippedCoordinates: (Optional) The boolean value specifying whether to remove clipped coordinates or not. If true, the coordinates outside of the horizon will be removed from the output array, and 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. If false, all coordinates are preserved, the clipped out coordinates are set to NaN in the output array, and the number of elements in the output array is equal to the number of elements in inCoordinates. The default value is true.

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. The number of initialized elements in the output is the number of coordinates transformed which may be less than the number of elements in inCoordinates.

Example

Transform3D

// 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}
