DatumShift.Authority Property
Gets the name of an authority, which is often "epsg".
Syntax
public System.String Authority { get; }Property Value
Default: "epsg"
The name of the authority that has assigned a unique code.
Remarks
You can set the Authority property when you construct a DatumShift manually. And the property will usually be set in a DatumShift that is part of a Crs that is predefined, or created by Crs.FromAuthorityAndCode or by Crs.FromWellKnownText, or created by a DataSet that reads its CRS from file.
The Authority and AuthorityCode form a unique identification of the DatumShift and can be useful as documentation. If the authority is "epsg" or "carmenta", Carmenta Engine can usually construct the Info for the datum shift automatically. And the metadata information can then be inspected, for example in the Properties panel of Carmenta Explorer when a dataset is selected in the DataSets panel, or in the output of a SpyOperator.
