public interface ISpheroidEdit
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control the properties of a spheroid.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Method Summary

void	define(Object name, Object alias, Object abbreviation, Object remarks, Object majorAxis, Object flattening) Defines the properties of a spheroid.
void	defineEx(String name, String alias, String abbreviation, String remarks, double[] majorAxis, double[] flattening) Defines the properties of a spheroid.

Method Detail

defineEx

void defineEx(String name,
              String alias,
              String abbreviation,
              String remarks,
              double[] majorAxis,
              double[] flattening)
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

Defines the properties of a spheroid.

Description

The majorAxis parameter represents the semimajor axis. For example, the semimajor axis of the WGS 1984 spheroid is 6378137.0 meters. The flattening value is a small number, such as 0.003352811 (WGS 1984). Often the inverse flattening value is used instead, 298.257223563, and that is what is reported in a well-known text (WKT) version of spheroid. The Define method expects the true flattening value.
