Create my own WKT

[JoeHewitt]

Hello,

Is it possible to create my own Well Known Text (WKT) for a coordinate system that is not registered with a WKID.

I am wanting to print into my own spatial reference so would be passing this WKT into

<esri:PrintParamters outSpatialReference="{new SpatialReference(WKT)}"

I cant seem to test this idea, because I get errors when I try test it with an existing WKT. for examples :

   outSpatialReference= "{new SpatialReference('PROJCS["NAD_1927_StatePlane_Kansas_North_FIPS_1501",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1927",DATUM["D_North_American_1927",SPHEROID["Clarke_1866",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",2000000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-98.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",38.71666666666667],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",39.78333333333333],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",38.33333333333334],UNIT["Foot_US",0.3048006096012192]]')}"

Gives me "PrintParameters must end with > or /> It seems the amount of quotation marks in the WKT is making it run wild.

if the quotes match up, that shouldn't be the issue.

probably stupid observation but the code you posted actually *is* missing a closing ">".

Joe,

   Let me begin with a question. Why are you attempting to use a WKT when the WKID for NAD_1927_StatePlane_Kansas_North_FIPS_1501 is 26777?

Yes it is 🙂

Joe,

I am wanting to create and use my own WKT, but first I was checking to see if I could implement an already existing WKID just purely as a test, and I am getting an error trying to use it in my PrintParameters.

NAD_1927_StatePlane_Kansas_North_FIPS_1501 just happens to be a random example I selected. I am trying to implement a WKT in the PrintParameters of my ExportWebMapForm.mxml But keep getting an error, as you can see in my above post.

How do I pass my WKT into outSpatialReference?

Joe,


   OK that makes sense. Here is how you do it then:

        <fx:String id="myWKT">PROJCS["NAD_1927_StatePlane_Kansas_North_FIPS_1501",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1927",DATUM["D_North_American_1927",SPHEROID["Clarke_1866",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",2000000.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-98.0],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",38.71666666666667],PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",39.78333333333333],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",38.33333333333334],UNIT["Foot_US",0.3048006096012192]]</fx:String>         <esri:PrintParameters id="printParameters"                               format="{formatsDDL.selectedItem}"                               layoutTemplate="{layoutTemplatesDDL.selectedItem}"                               map="{hostBaseWidget.map}"                               outSpatialReference="{new SpatialReference(Number.NaN, myWKT)}"                               preserveScale="{scaleCheckbox.selected}">             <esri:exportOptions>                 <esri:ExportOptions dpi="{dpiDD.selectedItem.dpi}"/>             </esri:exportOptions>             <esri:layoutOptions>                 <esri:LayoutOptions id="layoutOptions"/>             </esri:layoutOptions>         </esri:PrintParameters>
