Coordinate Systems Details

Coordinate-Systems Functions

The following coordinate-systems functions are available:

• Measure the geodetic distance between two points - ade_projwsgeodistance()
• Transform an entity from the source to the destination coordinate system - ade_projentityforward()
• Transform an entity from the destination to the source coordinate system - ade_projentitybackward()

For coordinate-systems source-code samples, see Coordinate Systems Samples.
