IGeometry2.ProjectEx Method

Projects a geometry, optionally applies a GeoTransformation, and optionally densifies the geometry.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ProjectEx ( _
    ByVal newReferenceSystem As ISpatialReference, _
    ByVal Direction As esriTransformDirection, _
    ByVal GeoTransformation As IGeoTransformation, _
    ByVal bAngularDensify As Boolean, _
    ByVal maxSegmentLength As Double, _
    ByVal maxDeviation As Double _
)

[C#]
public void ProjectEx (
    ISpatialReference newReferenceSystem,
    esriTransformDirection Direction,
    IGeoTransformation GeoTransformation,
    bool bAngularDensify,
    double maxSegmentLength,
    double maxDeviation
);

[C++]
HRESULT ProjectEx(
  ISpatialReference* newReferenceSystem,
  esriTransformDirection Direction,
  IGeoTransformation* GeoTransformation,
  VARIANT_BOOL bAngularDensify,
  double maxSegmentLength,
  double maxDeviation
);

[C++]

Parameters
newReferenceSystem 

  newReferenceSystem is a parameter of type ISpatialReference*
Direction 

  Direction is a parameter of type esriTransformDirection
GeoTransformation 

  GeoTransformation is a parameter of type IGeoTransformation*
bAngularDensify 

  bAngularDensify is a parameter of type bool
maxSegmentLength 

  maxSegmentLength is a parameter of type double
maxDeviation 

  maxDeviation is a parameter of type double

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Errors Returned

Run-time Error: 430 Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface

This error will be produced when IGeometry2::ProjectEx is used on a GeometryBag which contains segments: BezierCurve, CircularArc, EllipticArc, Line. Segments do not implement IGeometry2. To avoid this restriction convert the segment into a Polyline before adding it to the GeometryBag.

Remarks

By default, ProjectEx will not densify geometries as they are projected. This can lead to the output geometries not reflecting the 'true' shape in the new coordinate system. A straight line in one coordinate system is not necessarily a straight line in a different coordinate system. Set the bAngularDensify parameter if you want to densify the geometries while they are projected.
