SpatialReference

Résumé

Each part of the spatial reference has a number of properties (especially the coordinate system) that defines what map projection options are used to define horizontal coordinates.

Discussion

A SpatialReference object can also be accessed from existing datasets using the Describe spatialReference property.

dataset = "c:/data/landbase.gdb/Wetlands"
spatial_ref = arcpy.Describe(dataset).spatialReference

Syntaxe

 SpatialReference  ({item}, {vcs})
ParamètreExplicationType de données
item

The coordinate system to be used to create the SpatialReference. Can be set using a projection file, name, factory code, or well-known text (WKT) format. See examples below.

  • Using a projection file (.prj)
    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("c:/coordsystems/NAD 1983.prj")
  • Using the name of the coordinate system

    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("Hawaii Albers Equal Area Conic")
  • Using a coordinate system's factory code (or authority code)

    # 32145 is the code for: 
#  NAD 1983 StatePlane Vermont FIPS 4400 (Meters)
sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(32145)
  • Using a well-known text string representation

    # String below is representation for the 
# Geographic Coordinate system "WGS 1984" (factory code=4326)
wkt = "GEOGCS['GCS_WGS_1984',DATUM['D_WGS_1984',SPHEROID['WGS_1984',6378137.0,298.257223563]],\
               PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]];\
               -400 -400 1000000000;-100000 10000;-100000 10000;8.98315284119522E-09;\
               0.001;0.001;IsHighPrecision"
sr = arcpy.SpatialReference()
sr.loadFromString(wkt)

Variant
vcs

The vertical coordinate system (VCS). The VCS defines information about the Z coordinates. Can be set using a name, factory code, or well-known text (WKT) format. See examples below.

  • Using names

    sr = arcpy.SpatialReference("Hawaii Albers Equal Area Conic", "MSL (Height)")
  • Using factory codes

    # Spatial Reference factory code of 32145 is : NAD 1983 StatePlane Vermont FIPS 4400 (Meters)
# Spatial Reference factory code of 5714 is : Mean Sea Level (Height)

sr = arcpy.SpatialReference(32145, 5714)
  • Using a well-known text string representation. Note that the vcs argument is not used, and the VCS is defined in the VERTCS section of the WKT.

    # String below is representation for the 
# Geographic Coordinate system "WGS 1984" (factory code=4326), 
#   with a vertical coordinate system "WGS 1984" (factory code=115700)

wkt = "GEOGCS['GCS_WGS_1984',DATUM['D_WGS_1984',SPHEROID['WGS_1984',6378137.0,298.257223563]],\

SpatialReference example

For each feature class in a workspace, print the name of its spatial reference.

import arcpy

# Set the workspace environment
arcpy.env.workspace = "c:/base/base.gdb"

# Get a list of the feature classes in the input folder
feature_classes = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

# Loop through the list
for fc in feature_classes:
    # Create the spatial reference object
    spatial_ref = arcpy.Describe(fc).spatialReference

    # If the spatial reference is unknown
    if spatial_ref.name == "Unknown":
        print("{0} has an unknown spatial reference".format(fc))

    # Otherwise, print out the feature class name and
    # spatial reference
    else:
        print("{0} : {1}".format(fc, spatial_ref.name))
