| SE_coordref_get_description | |
Returns a description of the coordinate system for the supplied coordinate reference object
LONG SE_coordref_get_description (SE_COORDREF coordref, CHAR *description);
| coordref | A pointer to the coordinate reference object |
| description | A pointer to a character string representation of the coordinate system |
Returns the description of the coordinate system for the supplied coordinate reference object. The coordinate system is defined as a character string description suitable for use by the ArcSDE function SE_coordref_set_by_description or the Projection Engine function pe_coordsys_from_string.
If both vertical coordinate system and horizontal coordinate system have been set for the coordinate reference object, this function returns a description of both coordinate systems. If only one coordinate system has been set, a description for only that coordinate system is returned. If no coordinate system has been set, the value "UNKNOWN" is returned.
