CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter

From Fmepedia

CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter is a Workbench Transformer.

This transformer converts coordinate system strings between representations.

It can be used to convert between an FME coordinate system name and:

  • Autodesk Well Known Text (WKT)
  • An EPSG number
  • ESRI Well Known Text (WKT)
  • A MapInfo coordinate system statement
  • OGC Well Known Text (WKT)
  • An Oracle SRID number
  • a PROJ.4 string

This can be used in conjunction with the CoordinateSystemFetcher and CoordinateSystemSetter to use externally defined coordinate systems with FME features within the transformation environment.

Representation should be set as follows.

Convert from FME representation: Set 'representation' to the coordinate system type that you want to use to format the output field.

Convert to FME representation: Set 'representation' to select the coordinate system format to use when interpreting the input field.
