Interface ILatLonFormat

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

LatLonFormat

public interface ILatLonFormat
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that format Latitudes and Longitudes.

Description

The members in the ILatLonFormat interface define how the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The LatLonFormat coclass also inherits the INumericFormat interface, so both these interface's properties determine how numbers are formatted.

When To Use

Use the ILatLonFormat interface to format numbers that represent a latitude or longitude.

Method Detail

setShowDirections

void setShowDirections(boolean show)
                       throws IOException,

Indicates if a directional letter (N-S-E-W) is appended to the formatted number.

Description

The ShowDirections property sets or returns an indicator that tells whether to append a directional letter designation (N, S, E, or W) when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ShowDirections are:

Setting	Description
False	(Default) A directional letter designation is not appended to the format, for example, 270°.
True	A directional letter designation is appended to the format, for example, 270°E.

                         throws IOException,
                                AutomationException

Indicates if a directional letter (N-S-E-W) is appended to the formatted number.

Description

The ShowDirections property sets or returns an indicator that tells whether to append a directional letter designation (N, S, E, or W) when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ShowDirections are:

Setting	Description
False	(Default) A directional letter designation is not appended to the format, for example, 270°.
True	A directional letter designation is appended to the format, for example, 270°E.

Remarks

As an alternative, the ShowPlusSign property from INumericFormat can be used to show similar information since the LatLonFormat coclass also supports this interface.

Returns:

The show

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setIsLatitude

void setIsLatitude(boolean rhs1)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Indicates if a formatted number is a latitude or not.

Description

The IsLatitude property sets an indicator that tells whether the curvature of the coordinate system causes latitude labels to be placed on top or below the dataframe border, or for longitude labels that appear to the right or left of the dataframe border. It also determines the directional label appended to the format when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ShowDirections are:

Setting	Description
False	(Default) Latitude labels are placed on top of the dataframe border. Longitude labels are placed to the left of the dataframe border. If ShowDirections is True, a directional letter designation of either E or W is appended to the format, for example, 23°E.
True	Latitude labels are placed below the dataframe border. Longitude labels are placed to the right of the dataframe border. If ShowDirections is True, a directional letter designation of either N or S is appended to the format, for example, 17°N.

Remarks

When used with the IDMSGridLabel interface, it sets an indicator to specify that latitude labels will be placed on top of the data frame border, and longitude labels will be placed to the left of the data frame border. If True, the directional letter will be either N or S; with IDMSGridLabel, latitude labels are placed below the data frame border and longitude labels are placed to the right.
