Constructor Detail

DistanceConverter

public DistanceConverter()
                  throws IOException,
                         UnknownHostException

Constructs a DistanceConverter using ArcGIS Engine.

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

UnknownHostException - if there are interop problems

DistanceConverter

public DistanceConverter(Object obj)
                  throws IOException

Deprecated. As of ArcGIS 9.2, replaced by normal Java casts.
DistanceConverter theDistanceConverter = (DistanceConverter) obj;

Construct a DistanceConverter using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to DistanceConverter.

Parameters:

obj - an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:

IOException - if there are interop problems

Method Detail

getClsid

public static String getClsid()

getClsid.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getValue

public double getValue(String val,
                       ISpatialReference pUnits)
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Converts the string value to a double.

Remarks

GetValue returns a Double value that is a converted distance from the input string. The input string is formatted that combines a distance value and a suffix abbreviation of the distance units. A spatial reference is used to determine the output distance units.

The following list of suffixes can be used:

Metric Units:

Distance Units	Abbrev.	Meters per Unit	Description
Kilometer	km	1000	1000 meters exactly
Meter	m	1	International meter.
Millimeter	mm	0.001	1/1000 meters exactly

Imperial or international units:

Distance Units	Abbrev.	Meters per Unit	Description
Foot	ft	0.3048	Standard foot in the US. Also known as international foot or imperial foot that was used in most non-US countries before the metric system.
Mile	mi	1609.344	Also referred to a statute mile, equal to 5280 international feet.
Nautical mile	nm	1852	The nautical mile is a unit of distance used primarily in sea and in aviation.
Chain	ch	20.1168	66 international feet.
Yard	yd	0.9144	Three international feet.
Rod	rd	5.0292	1/4 chain or 16.5 international feet.
Link	lk	0.201168	1/100 international chain or 66/100 international feet.
Inch	in	0.0254	1/12 of an international foot.

US survey units:

Distance Units	Abbrev.	Meters per Unit	Description
Survey foot	ftus	~0.3048006	The US survey foot is used in the State Plane Coordinate Systems. An exact conversion is accomplished by multiplying US survey feet by the fraction 1200/3937.
Survey mile	mius	~1609.347219	5280 survey feet.
Survey chain	chus	~20.116840	66 survey feet.
Survey rod	rdus	~5.029210	1/4 survey chain.
Survey link	lkus	~0.201168	1/100 survey chain.
Survey yard	ydus	~0.914402	3 survey feet.
