                                                AutomationException
Creates a predefined spatial reference from an srID.

Description

Use a srID from the esriSRProjCSType or esriSRGeoCSType enumerations to create a particular predefined spatial reference.

Remarks

The CreateSpatialReference method creates a valid SpatialReference, either a projected or geographic coordinate system, depending on the supplied FactoryCode (here called an srID). The method returns an ISpatialReference. The example code illustrates how to test for what type of SpatialReference has been created. This method will raise an error (E_INVALIDARG) if the FactoryCode number supplied is not valid.

Constructs a high precision spatial reference based on an existing spatial reference. xy/z/mDoubler is the number of times the respective precision is to be doubled. A value of zero will find the maximum doubling for that precision.

Remarks

ConstructHighPrecisionSpatialReference creates a high precision copy of an existing low precision spatial reference. It is used when the new high precision spatial reference grid must “mesh” with the existing low precision grid. Each point of the old grid is also a point of the new grid.

The doubler parameters are exponents of powers of 2. For example, if the xyDoubler = 2, then the XY grid resolution of the output spatial reference is 4 times the input grid resolution (16 new grid cells cover 1 old grid cell). The grid also is translated so it remains centered about its current location. If a doubler parameter is -1, then the closest legal resolution to the default that covers the input XY domain and the coordinate system's horizon is chosen. If the doubler parameter is -2, the smallest possible legal resolution that covers the input XY domain and the coordinate system's horizon is chosen. In these cases, the highest exponent is chosen that will produce an output grid that both contains all the grid points defined by the input grid and covers the horizon of the input spatial reference. A doubler value of zero will maintain the existing resolution of the low precision spatial reference. It is an error to specify a doubler parameter that will result in a grid smaller than the corresponding input grid.

For ProjectedCoordinateSystems or GeographicCoordinateSystems the minimum values of the domain extent are defined just outside the envelope defined by the coordinate system's horizon.
