[C++]
HRESULT Define(
Variant* Name,
Variant* Alias,
Variant* Abbreviation,

Variant* geographicUnit
);
[C++]
Parameters Name [optional]
Name is a parameter of type VARIANT* Alias [optional]
Alias is a parameter of type VARIANT* Abbreviation [optional]
Abbreviation is a parameter of type VARIANT* Remarks [optional]
Remarks is a parameter of type VARIANT* useage [optional]
useage is a parameter of type VARIANT* Datum [optional]
Datum is a parameter of type VARIANT* PrimeMeridian [optional]
PrimeMeridian is a parameter of type VARIANT* geographicUnit [optional]
geographicUnit is a parameter of type VARIANT*
Use the Define method of IGeographicCoordinateSystemEdit to set the properties of a geographic coordinate system. A geographic coordinate system is defined (at minimum) by a name, an angular unit of measure, a horizontal datum, and a prime meridian.
