OGRSpatialReferenceH OSRNewSpatialReference(const char*)

Constructor.

Starting with GDAL 3.0, coordinates associated with a OGRSpatialReference object are assumed to be in the order of the axis of the CRS definition (which for example means latitude first, longitude second for geographic CRS belonging to the EPSG authority). It is possible to define a data axis to CRS axis mapping strategy with the SetAxisMappingStrategy() method.

Starting with GDAL 3.5, the OSR_DEFAULT_AXIS_MAPPING_STRATEGY configuration option can be set to "TRADITIONAL_GIS_ORDER" / "AUTHORITY_COMPLIANT" (the later being the default value when the option is not set) to control the value of the data axis to CRS axis mapping strategy when a OSRSpatialReference object is created. Calling SetAxisMappingStrategy() will override this default value.

This function is the same as OGRSpatialReference::OGRSpatialReference()

Read SRS from WKT dictionary.

More complete information on the format of the dictionary files can be found in the epsg.wkt file in the GDAL data tree. The dictionary files are searched for in the "GDAL" domain using CPLFindFile(). Normally this results in searching /usr/local/share/gdal or somewhere similar.

This will honour the axis order advertized by the source and target SRS, as well as their "data axis to SRS axis mapping". To have a behavior similar to GDAL < 3.0, the OGR_CT_FORCE_TRADITIONAL_GIS_ORDER configuration option can be set to YES.

Parameters:

Create transformation object.

This is the same as the C++ function OGRCreateCoordinateTransformation(const

OGRSpatialReference *, const OGRSpatialReference *, const

OGRCoordinateTransformationOptions& )

Input spatial reference system objects are assigned by copy (calling clone() method) and no ownership transfer occurs.

OCTDestroyCoordinateTransformation() should be used to destroy transformation objects.

The source SRS and target SRS should generally not be NULL. This is only allowed if a custom coordinate operation is set through the hOptions argument.

This will honour the axis order advertized by the source and target SRS, as well as their "data axis to SRS axis mapping". To have a behavior similar to GDAL < 3.0, the OGR_CT_FORCE_TRADITIONAL_GIS_ORDER configuration option can be set to YES.

If options contains a user defined coordinate transformation pipeline, it will be unconditionally used. If options has an area of interest defined, it will be used to research the best fitting coordinate transformation (which will be used for all coordinate transformations, even if they don't fall into the declared area of interest) If no options are set, then a list of candidate coordinate operations will be researched, and at each call to Transform(), the best of those candidate regarding the centroid of the coordinate set will be dynamically selected.

Since

GDAL 3.0

Parameters:
  • hSourceSRS -- source spatial reference system.

  • hTargetSRS -- target spatial reference system.

  • hOptions -- Coordinate transformation options.

Returns:

NULL on failure or a ready to use transformation object.

  • nCount -- Number of points

  • x -- Array of nCount x values. Should not be NULL

  • y -- Array of nCount y values. Should not be NULL

  • z -- Array of nCount z values. Might be NULL

  • t -- Array of nCount time values. Might be NULL

  • panErrorCodes -- Output array of nCount value that will be set to 0 for success, or a non-zero value for failure. Refer to PROJ 8 public error codes. Might be NULL

int OCTTransformBounds(OGRCoordinateTransformationH hCT, const double xmin, const double ymin, const double xmax, const double ymax, double *out_xmin, double *out_ymin, double *out_xmax, double *out_ymax, const int densify_pts)

Transform boundary.

Transform boundary densifying the edges to account for nonlinear transformations along these edges and extracting the outermost bounds.

If the destination CRS is geographic, the first axis is longitude, and xmax < xmin then the bounds crossed the antimeridian. In this scenario there are two polygons, one on each side of the antimeridian. The first polygon should be constructed with (xmin, ymin, 180, ymax) and the second with (-180, ymin, xmax, ymax).

If the destination CRS is geographic, the first axis is latitude, and ymax < ymin then the bounds crossed the antimeridian. In this scenario there are two polygons, one on each side of the antimeridian. The first polygon should be constructed with (ymin, xmin, ymax, 180) and the second with (ymin, -180, ymax, xmax).

Since

3.4

Parameters:
  • hTransform -- Transformation object

  • xmin -- Minimum bounding coordinate of the first axis in source CRS.

  • ymin -- Minimum bounding coordinate of the second axis in source CRS.

  • xmax -- Maximum bounding coordinate of the first axis in source CRS.

  • ymax -- Maximum bounding coordinate of the second axis in source CRS.

  • out_xmin -- Minimum bounding coordinate of the first axis in target CRS

  • out_ymin -- Minimum bounding coordinate of the second axis in target CRS.

  • out_xmax -- Maximum bounding coordinate of the first axis in target CRS.

  • out_ymax -- Maximum bounding coordinate of the second axis in target CRS.

  • densify_pts -- Recommended to use 21. This is the number of points to use to densify the bounding polygon in the transformation.

Returns:

TRUE if successful. FALSE if failures encountered.
