GeodeticCoordSys Class

Uses

Description

The GeodeticCoordSys class represents a coordinate system that uses angular values to express the positions of points relative to a HorizontalDatum. Such a coordinate system is commonly referred to as a Lat/Lon system, which indicates that the position of points is given with angular latitude and longitude values. One can also express the height of a point above (or below) the HorizontalDatum used in this system, if the VerticalReference property has been set. GeodeticPoints are used to represent points within a GeodeticCoordSys.
