SpatialReference

Synthèse

Each part of the spatial reference has a number of properties (especially the coordinate system) that defines what map projection options are used to define horizontal coordinates.

Discussion

A SpatialReference object can also be accessed from existing datasets using the Describe spatialReference property.

dataset = "c:/data/landbase.gdb/Wetlands"
spatial_ref = arcpy.Describe(dataset).spatialReference

Les étendues XY, Z et M ne correspondent pas aux domaines de référence spatiale. Les domaines XY, Z et M d'une référence spatiale définissent la plage valide de valeurs de coordonnées pouvant être stockées dans une classe d'entités. Les étendues de la classe d’entités reflètent la plage réelle des valeurs de coordonnées présentes dans la classe d’entités. Ces étendues ne peuvent pas être plus importantes que les domaines.

The SpatialReference object supports equal (==) and not equal (!=) operators for comparing spatial references.

Remarque :

The spatial reference properties available depend on the coordinate system used. In the properties list below, those properties that are only available with a projected coordinate system are denoted with a 1; properties only available with a geographic coordinate system are denoted with a 2.

Because a projected coordinate system is based on a geographic coordinate system, projected coordinate system properties can be accessed from a geographic coordinate system using the GCS property.

Syntaxe

 SpatialReference ({item}, {vcs}, {text})
ParamètreExplicationType de données
item

The horizontal coordinate system used to create the SpatialReference. The coordinate system can be set using a projection file, name, or factory code.

  • Using the display name of the coordinate system
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("Sinusoidal (world)")
  • Using the canonical name of the coordinate system
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("World_Sinusoidal")
  • Using a coordinate system's factory code (or authority code or WKID)
    # The factory code of 32145 represents: 
    # NAD 1983 StatePlane Vermont FIPS 4400 (Meters)
    
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(32145)
  • Using a projection file (.prj)
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("c:/coordsystems/NAD 1983.prj")

For more information about coordinate system names and factory codes, see the geographic_coordinate_systems.pdf and projected_coordinate_systems.pdf files.

For more information, see Using the spatial reference class.

Variant
vcs

The vertical coordinate system (VCS). The VCS defines information about the z-coordinates and can be set using a name or factory code. See the following examples:

  • Using a name
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("Hawaii Albers Equal Area Conic", "MSL Height")
  • Using a factory code
    # Spatial Reference factory code of 32145 is : NAD 1983 StatePlane Vermont FIPS 4400 (Meters)
    # Spatial Reference factory code of 5714 is : Mean Sea Level (Height)
    
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(32145, 5714)
Variant

A well-known text (WKT) string that can be used to define a horizontal and vertical coordinate system.

SpatialReference example

For each feature class in a workspace, print the name of its spatial reference.

import arcpy

# Set the workspace environment
arcpy.env.workspace = "c:/base/base.gdb"

# Get a list of the feature classes in the input folder
feature_classes = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

# Loop through the list
for fc in feature_classes:
    # Create the spatial reference object
    spatial_ref = arcpy.Describe(fc).spatialReference
