Creates a map projection.

Extended Error Information
Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.
Interfaces
Interfaces | Description |
---|---|
IClone (esriSystem) | Provides access to members that control cloning of objects. |
IESRISpatialReference | Provides access to members that control the import/export operations components of a spatial reference system. This interface is same as IESRISpatialReferenceGEN. |
IESRISpatialReferenceGEN | Provides access to members that generate well known string (WKS) representations of spatial reference objects. |
IESRISpatialReferenceGEN2 | Provides access to members that generate well known string representations for spatial reference objects. The strings include authority metadata. |
IPersist (esriSystem) | |
IPersistStream (esriSystem) | |
IProjection | Provides access to members that control the properties of all map projections. |
IProjectionGEN | OLE compatibility for providing access to members that control the properties of all map projections. |
ISpatialReferenceAuthority | Provides access to the authority-related metadata for a spatial reference object. |
ISupportErrorInfo (esriSystem) |
Remarks
A Projection object encapsulates the mathematics needed to convert geographic coordinates between two different coordinate systems. A projection is a component of a projected coordinate system and is not usually used directly. Rather, a projected cooordinate system is defined and used to project cooordinates.
