| Maptitude GISDK Help |
Translates a longitude-latitude coordinate to a local map X-Y coordinate.
xy = MapCoordToXY(string map_name, coordinate c)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| map_name | The map whose coordinate system is used |
| c | The coordinate to be translated |
An array of two real numbers: the x-value and the y-value.
If the map_name is null, the current map is used.
x and y will be in the units specified by the coordinate system (e.g., miles or meters). If the units are omitted in the coordinate system, meters are used.
The map should be displayed using a coordinate system. If only a projection is used, the result is unspecified.
For more details on coordinate systems, see Using Projections and Coordinate Systems.
| Error Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Error | The translation has failed |
| NotFound | The specified map was not found |
