ArcObjects Library Reference (Geometry)  

IProjectionGEN.GetDefaultParameters Method

Safearray wrapper for returning the set of default parameters needed for this projection.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function GetDefaultParameters ( _
) As IParameter[]

[C#]
public IParameter[] GetDefaultParameters (
);

[C++]
HRESULT GetDefaultParameters(
void
);

Product Availability

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

Description

Each map projection has a particular set of parameters that it expects. Use GetDefaultParameters to return a list of the parameters. Every map projection supports FalseEasting and FalseNorthing. The other parameters are listed below.
