Description

The IsLatitude property sets or returns an indicator that tells whether the curvature of the coordinate system causes latitude labels to be placed on top or below the dataframe border, or for longitude labels that appear to the right or left of the dataframe border. It also determines the directional label appended to the format when the ValueToString method in the associated INumberFormat interface formats numbers.

The settings for ShowDirections are:

Setting

Description

False

(Default) Latitude labels are placed on top of the dataframe border. Longitude labels are placed to the left of the dataframe border.

If ShowDirections is True, a directional letter designation of either E or W is appended to the format, for example, 23�E.

True

Latitude labels are placed below the dataframe border. Longitude labels are placed to the right of the dataframe border.

If ShowDirections is True, a directional letter designation of either N or S is appended to the format, for example, 17�N.

Remarks

When used with the IDMSGridLabel interface, it sets an indicator to specify that latitude labels will be placed on top of the data frame border, and longitude labels will be placed to the left of the data frame border. If True, the directional letter will be either N or S; with IDMSGridLabel, latitude labels are placed below the data frame border and longitude labels are placed to the right.
