Creates an Abridged Molodensky transformation.
Product Availability
Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.
Description
The Abridged Molodensky transformation is a three parameter transformation that converts between two geographic coordinate systems (datums). The parameters are three translations in meters. The translation values are in XYZ space. This method is a quicker but less accurate version of the Molodensky method.
Supported Platforms
Windows, Solaris, Linux
Extended Error Information
Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.
Interfaces
| Interfaces | Description |
|---|---|
| IClone (esriSystem) | Provides access to members that control cloning of objects. |
| IGeoTransformation | Provides access to members that define a geographic (datum) transformation. |
| IMolodenskyTransformation | Provides access to members that control the parameters of a Molodensky transformation. |
| IPersist | Defines the single method GetClassID, which is designed to supply the CLSID of an object that can be stored persistently in the system. IPersist is the base interface for three other interfaces: IPersistStorage, IPersistStream, and IPersistFile. |
| IPersistStream (esriSystem) | |
| ISpatialReferenceAuthority | Provides access to the authority-related metadata for a spatial reference object. |
| ISupportErrorInfo | Indicates whether a specific interface can return Automation error objects. |
| ITransformation | Provides access to members that apply a function (or its inverse) to a set of points or measures. The suffix of each method indicates the type of parameters operated on. |
| ITransformationGEN | Provides access to members that apply a function (or its inverse) to a set of points or measures. The suffix of each method indicates the type of parameters operated on. ITransformationGEN is generic version of ITransformation. |
| IXMLSerialize (esriSystem) | Provides access to members that XML serialize and deserialize an object to/from XML. |
| IXMLVersionSupport (esriSystem) | Provides access to members that help in serializing an object to different namespaces (versions). |
