AGSSpatialReference Class Reference
Description
Instances of this class represent a spatial reference. Each spatial reference can be represented by either a well-known ID (wkid), or a well-known text (wkt). Spatial References define the spatial properties of a geometry, for instance the coordinate system it uses. There are 2 broad classes of coordinate systems - Geographic & Projected. A Geographic Coordinate system uses a 3-dimensional spherical surface to define locations on the earth. A Projected Coordinate system on the other hand uses a flat, 2-dimensional surface. More information about spatial references and coordinate systems is available here.
It is very important to associate spatial data, such as geometry objects, with corresponding spatial references.

| - (id) initWithWKID: | (NSUInteger) | wkid |
Initialize a spatial reference with wkid.
- Parameters:
-
wkid The well-known ID to initialize the spatial reference with.
- Since:
- 1.0
| - (id) initWithWKID: | (NSUInteger) | wkid | ||
| WKT: | (NSString *) | wkt | ||
Initialize spatial reference with well-known ID and text. This is the designated initializer.
- Parameters:
-
wkid The well-known ID. wkt The well-known text.
- Returns:

| - (id) initWithWKT: | (NSString *) | wkt |
Initialize a spatial reference with wkt.
- Parameters:
-
wkt The well-known text to initialize the spatial reference with.
- Since:
