Converting Point From A Projected Coordinate System to A Geographic Coordinate System

bobongubza

I have successfully used the "esri/tasks/support/ProjectParameters" and "esri/tasks/GeometryService"

Classes to project a point from a Geographic Coordinate System (wkid: 4326 and wkid: 4148) to a Projected Coordinate System (wkid: 102482 and also wkid: 102100). The results are correct.

However, when I try to convert the point from the Projected Coordinate system to the Geographic Coordinate System, the results are horrendously incorrect. I was hoping someone can explain to me how to fix this issue I'm currently struggling with.

I am using arcgis javascript 4.10

If the lat-lon coordinates are coming out completely wrong, and not just off a few hundred meters, I suspect that it's to due with the south-orientated transverse Mercator. For instance, if you have Lo coordinates, using a negative scale factor in the projected CRS definition will flip them into the east-north system that ArcGIS supports from Lo's southing-westing. You might try negating the input x,y coordinates, then using Lo with a positive scale factor when unprojecting them.

There is no need to go through that effort All you need to do is know the wkid of the transform you use when you do this in desktop and add that to the projection parameters transformation property.

With ArcGIS Desktop I constantly do transformations due to the fact that I sometimes deal with survey data which uses a coordinate system that is local to South Africa, thus converting it to geographic coordinates of WGS84 is often done.

But no worries I studied coordinate system transformation and it was focused on the coordinate systems I want to transform so I'll look through my past lecture notes and just write an algorithm that will do the transformations.

Thanks Robert

I am using solely on arcgis javascript. The website that I am designing has to allow people to enter coordinates in Gauss Conform (Transverse Mercator south oriented) coordinate system and convert them to GCS haartebeesthoek 94.

So my parameters are as follows:

projectParameter = new ProjectParameters()

projectParameter.geometries = new Point({x: value, y: value, new spatialReference({wkid:102482}))

projectParameter.outSpatialReference = new SpatialReference({"wkid": 4148})

honestly I don't what this two parameters, projectParameter.transformation and projectParameter.transformforward assist with, with regards to the projection.

Bobo,

Going from 4326 to 102100 is very easy using the webMercatorUtils class geographicToWebMercator method

webMercatorUtils | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.10

Do you have to use a transformation in ArcMap to convert wkid 102482 to wkid 4326? If so then you need to add that transformation wkid to the ProjectParameters.

Yes and I cannot figure out why. I am at a point of manually coding the transformation between the coordinate system.

Do you mean reversing the process on the projected file doesn't work?
