Geographic or Projected

[JoseSousa]

Dear ArcGIS API Team,

Is it possible to know using the Flex API if a spatial reference is of type Geographic or Projected?

Thanks a lot,

Currently the only way is to use the Spatial Reference guides to see what the WKID stands for.  There might be some way to tell based on the number but I have yet to see anything definitive on that.

José Sousa,

    You could use a simple function like this

public function GeoOrPro(WKID:Number):String
{
 var retVal:String = "NULL";
 
 if(WKID >= 2000 && WKID <= 4000){
  retVal= "PROJECTED";
 }else if(WKID >= 4001 && WKID <= 4904){
  retVal= "GEOGRAPHIC";
 }else if(WKID >= 20002 && WKID <= 32766){
  retVal= "PROJECTED";
 }else if(WKID >= 37001 && WKID <= 37260){
  retVal= "GEOGRAPHIC";
 }else if(WKID >= 53001 && WKID <= 53049){
  retVal= "PROJECTED";
 }else if(WKID >= 54001 && WKID <= 54053){
  retVal= "PROJECTED";
 }else if(WKID >= 65061 && WKID <= 65063){
  retVal= "PROJECTED";
 }else if(WKID >= 102001 && WKID <= 103971){
  retVal= "PROJECTED";
 }else if(WKID >= 104000 && WKID <= 104970){
  retVal= "GEOGRAPHIC";
 }
 return retVal;
}
