fmeobjects.FMECoordSysManager.defineCoordSysFromOGCDef

FMECoordSysManager.defineCoordSysFromOGCDef(ogcDef, coordSysName)

Defines a coord system based on the OGC definition passed in.

Parameters:

• ogcDef (str) – The OGC definition the coordinate system is defined from.
• coordSysName (str) –

  The coordSysName is a parameter that takes in the following hint constants that define the form of the OGC definition.

  • ESRI: Translate ESRI style to standard first, before getting a FME name,
  • AUTODESK: Use the autodesk WKT exceptions file first before trying automated WKT conversion,
  • EPSG: Translate an EPSG code to FME (needs some support files to operate),
  • MAPINFO: Convert a MapInfo coordinate system string (held in the ogcDef string) to a FME name,
  • PROJ4: Translate a PROJ.4 string to FME,
  • ORACLE: Use the Oracle SRID to FME name exceptions file (an SRID code is excepted in the ogcDef parameter.

Return type:

str

Returns:

The name of the coordinate system that can be used within FME. If the source representation does not have a FME representation (but no errors occur) the return value will be an empty string. This could occur, for example, when no mapping exists between an Oracle SRID and a FME coordinate system.

Raises:

FMEException – An FMEException is raised if there was an error.
