ISpatialReference2 Interface

Provides access to additional members that control a SpatialReference. Note: the ISpatialReference2 interface has been superseded by ISpatialReference3. Please consider using the more recent version.

Product Availability

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

Description

Extends the ISpatialReference interface by adding functions to compare precision (resolution) of two spatial references, and round off coordinate data to the current resolution.
