IGeodataXform Interface

Provides access to members that control geodata transformation.

Product Availability

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

Description

IGeodataXform is a generic interface that is supported by all geodata transformation objects. It is one of the interfaces that must be implemented when you create a custom geodata transformation object. The others are IPersistStream, for persisting a geodata transformation into its dataset, and IClone.

The IGeodataXform provides access to members that control geodata transformation properties, and perform the actual geodata transformation operation. A geodata transformation has an output spatial reference that describes the coordinates after transformation.

It can also use domains that specify a list of regions (polygons) within which the transformation is continuous. For examples, a World Cube projection has nine domains and within each domain, the projection transformation is continuous. The domains can be a single polygon geometry or a collection of polygons.

A geodata transformation can be an identity transformation which does not change the coordinates. Any geodata transformation can become an identity. ArcGIS provides a special geodata transformation, IdentityXform, which is used to model a spatial reference as identity geodata transformation.

The IGeodataXform has methods for transforming a set of 2D points, an extent, and a (raster) cellsize.
