GeographicTransformationStep

require(["esri/geometry/support/GeographicTransformationStep"], function(GeographicTransformationStep) { /* code goes here */ });
Class: esri/geometry/support/GeographicTransformationStep
Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

Represents a step in the process of transforming coordinates from one geographic coordinate system to another. A geographic transformation step can be constructed from a well-known ID (wkid) or a well known text (wkt) that represents a geographic datum transformation.

Default Value:false
wkidNumber

The well-known id (wkid) hat represents a known geographic transformation. See Geographic datum transformations for the list of supported equation-based geographic transformations.

Example:
// Create a geographic transformation step for Tokyo_To_WGS_1984_2001 using its wkid
var geoStep = new GeographicTransformationStep({
  wkid: 108106
});

The well-known text (wkt) that represents a known geographic transformation. See Geographic datum transformations for the list of supported equation-based geographic transformations.

Example:
// Create a geographic transformation step for NAD_1927_To_WGS_1984_1
// using its well known text or wkt
var wkt = "GEOGTRAN[\"NAD_1927_To_WGS_1984_1\",GEOGCS[\"GCS_North_American_1927\",DATUM[\"D_North_American_1927\",SPHEROID[\"Clarke_1866\",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\",0.0],UNIT[\"Degree\",0.0174532925199433]],GEOGCS[\"GCS_WGS_1984\",DATUM[\"D_WGS_1984\",SPHEROID[\"WGS_1984\",6378137.0,298.257223563]],PRIMEM[\"Greenwich\",0.0],UNIT[\"Degree\",0.0174532925199433]],METHOD[\"Geocentric_Translation\"],PARAMETER[\"X_Axis_Translation\",-3.0],PARAMETER[\"Y_Axis_Translation\",142.0],PARAMETER[\"Z_Axis_Translation\",183.0]]";

Method Overview

NameReturn TypeSummaryClass
GeographicTransformationStep

Gets the inverse of the geographic transformation step used to call this method or null if the transformation step is not invertible.

Method Details

Gets the inverse of the geographic transformation step used to call this method or null if the transformation step is not invertible. The inverse of a transformation converts coordinates using the same method and parameters, but in the opposite direction of the original object. For example if the original object represents the NAD_1983_HARN_To_NAD_1983_NSRS2007_1 transformation, then the inverse will transform from NAD 83 (NSRS 2007) to NAD 83 (HARN).

Returns:
TypeDescription
GeographicTransformationStepReturns the inverse of the geographic transformation step or null if the transformation is not invertible.
