Client-side projection

Description

This sample shows how to project features to the spatialReference of the map on the client side.

The all-week-earthquakes geojson is loaded from the USGS site. A point with WGS84 spatial reference is created from each geoJSON feature representing earthquake location. Then each point is projected from WGS84 to Winkel III spatial reference. The final geometries are added to the map as graphics.

The sample also displays the position of the user's cursor as it moves across the map using the coordinateformatter's toLatitudeLongitude() method.
