AGSGeometryEngine projectGeometry

PaulLohr

I have not been able to find any samples that use AGSGeometryEngine projectGeometry: toSpatialReference:. Xcode is telling me that it cannot find a method named projectGeometry:toSpatialReference. The warning messages are:

warning: Semantic Issue: Class method '+projectGeometry:toSpatialReference:' 
not found (return type defaults to 'id')

'AGSGeometryEngine' may not respond to '+projectGeometry:toSpatialReference:'

Here is the code that generates the warning:

(please note that myPoint is an AGSPoint...a type of AGSGeometry with it's spatial reference being 4326 (WGS1984))

AGSPoint *myPointReprojected;

myPointReprojected = [AGSGeometryEngine projectGeometry:myPoint 
                                   toSpatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference webMercatorSpatialReference]];

Thank you for even the smallest amount of help,
Paul Lohr

Great! Good to know that everything works for you now! 🙂

Nimesh you are a great
It does work, but I have another question. I can not do the zoom on the address searched. Any suggestions?

resolved
[self.mapView zoomToScale: 2000 withCenterPoint: pt animated: YES];

If you are using this (http://tasks.arcgis.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/WorldLocator/GeocodeServer) locator service to find addresses then you don't need to project the result geometries. Just use AGSLocator's locationsForAddress:returnFields:outSpatialReference: method and set the desired outSpatialReference.

Hope this helps!

The complete code is this:

- (void)locator:(AGSLocator *)locator operation:(NSOperation *)op didFindLocationsForAddress:(NSArray *)candidates{

 if (candidates == nil || [candidates count] == 0)

hi
i use a AGSMapViewLayer with WKID = 102100.
i use a geocode server locator with URL = "http://tasks.arcgis.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/WorldLocator/GeocodeServer" (WKID = 4326)
When i search an address the mapView go to 0,0 coordinate.
I tried to reproyect the address.candidate point with this code:

AGSGeometry *myPointReprojected;
myPointReprojected = [[AGSGeometryEngine defaultGeometryEngine] projectGeometry:pt toSpatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference spatialReferenceWithWKID:102100]];

where pt is

AGSPoint *pt = addressCandidate.location;

Don't work.
Please Help me

You're welcome, Paul!

The project method supports all geometry types hence the return type is AGSGeometry. If you pass input as AGSPoint then it returns mutable AGSPoint only but as AGSGeometry. You can cast it accordingly.

As always, you knew how to fix it. Thank you, Nimesh.

One thing that seems odd - I had to change:
"AGSPoint *myPointReprojected;"
to
"AGSGeometry *myPointReprojected;"

Before I made this change, I got a warning messaging stating "Incompatible pointer types assigning AGSPoint from AGSGeometry".

I see in the documentation that projectGeometry:toSpatialReference outputs an AGSGeometry object. I thought if I were to input an AGSPoint, the method would return an AGSPoint (AGSPoint inherits from AGSGeometry). Instead it returns an AGSGeometry object.

No complaints here, just glad it works and appreciative of the help.

You must initialize geometry engine first. Your code should be..

myPointReprojected = [[AGSGeometryEngine defaultGeometryEngine] projectGeometry:myPoint 
                                   toSpatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference webMercatorSpatialReference]];

AGSGeometryEngine *ge = [AGSGeometryEngine defaultGeometryEngine];
myPointReprojected = [ge projectGeometry:myPoint 
                                   toSpatialReference:[AGSSpatialReference webMercatorSpatialReference]];

Nimesh
