GeodeticDatum.AuthoritativeAreaOfUseBounds Method
Gives the bounding rectangle(s) of the largest area of use for a geodetic datum, according to an authority.
Thread safety: This method is thread-safe.
AuthoritativeAreaOfUseBounds(System.String datumAuthority, System.String datumAuthorityCode)
Gives the bounding rectangle(s) of the largest area of use for a geodetic datum, according to an authority.Syntax
public static RectangleSet AuthoritativeAreaOfUseBounds (
System.String datumAuthority,
System.String datumAuthorityCode
)Parameters
datumAuthority
Type: System.String
The name of the authority, usually epsg.
The name of the authority, usually epsg.
datumAuthorityCode
Type: System.String
The unique code for the geodetic datum according to the authority, for example "6258".
The unique code for the geodetic datum according to the authority, for example "6258".
Return Value
Type: RectangleSet
A rectangle set, expressed in Wgs84LongLat, that covers the largest area of use.
A rectangle set, expressed in Wgs84LongLat, that covers the largest area of use.
Remarks
The supported authorities are "EPSG", "ESRI", "IGNF", "CRS" and "OGC". Carmenta methods will regard authority strings as case insensitive.
The returned rectangle set usually contains one rectangle. But if the largest area of use crosses meridian 180°, then the set will contain two rectangles.
EPSG has also published area polygons that are more precise than the rectangular bounds; see AuthoritativeAreaOfUseCode.
