coordtransex()
2D Coordinate Transformation and Reference System Transition for
numeric and alphanumeric coordinates with memory allocation for the
return strings and with disabling of meridian strip numbers.
Prototype of the DLL function in C++ syntax (attend lower case!):
extern "C" __declspec(dllimport) unsigned long __stdcall coordtransex(
double nCoordXQ,
double nCoordYQ,
const char *pszCoordQ,
unsigned short nCoordSysQ,
unsigned short nRefSysQ,
unsigned short nUnitQ,
unsigned short nStripQ,
unsigned long lNoStripQ,
double *nCoordXZ,
double *nCoordYZ,
char **pszCoordZ,
unsigned short nCoordSysZ,
unsigned short nRefSysZ,
unsigned short nUnitz,
unsigned short nStripZ,
unsigned long lNoStripZ);
Prototype of the DLL function in Visual Objects syntax:
_DLL function coordtransex(;
nCoordXQ as real8,; // 8 Byte
nCoordYQ as real8,; // 8 Byte
pszCoordQ as psz,; // 4 Byte, char*
nCoordSysQ as word,; // 2 Byte
nRefSysQ as word,; // 2 Byte
nUnitQ as word,; // 2 Byte
nStripQ as word,; // 2 Byte
lNoStripQ as logic,; // 4 Byte
nCoordXZ ref real8,; // 4 Byte
nCoordYZ ref real8,; // 4 Byte
pszCoordZ ref psz,; // 4 Byte, char**, 20 alloc.
nCoordSysZ as word,; // 2 Byte
nRefSysZ as word,; // 2 Byte
nUnitZ as word,; // 2 Byte
nStripZ as word,; // 2 Byte
lNoStripZ as logic); // 4 Byte
as logic pascal:geodll32.coordtransex // 4 Byte
The allocation of memory for "ref psz" / "char**" is necessary only if
setstringallocate(FALSE) is called before.
Note: Since version 14.60 two additional parameters nUnitQ and nUnitZ!
The function converts the numeric source coordinates nCoordXQ and
nCoordYQ or the alphanumeric source coordinate pszCoordQ from the source
Coordinate System nCoordSysQ to the numeric target coordinates nCoordXZ
and nCoordYZ or the alphanumeric target coordinate pszCoordZ of the target
Coordinate System nCoordSysZ. For a both source and target coordinates
either two numeric or one alphanumeric parameter will be passed. The
transformation is accomplished with high exactness and great speed.
The difference between the function coordtransex() and the function
coordtrans() is that can be taken influence on the use of the meridian
strip numbers in the eastings when processing a strip system like UTM or
Gauss-Krueger (see below).
The passed source coordinates and the calculated target coordinates are
examined for the range validity within their Coordinate Systems and for
syntactic correctness. The range validity is specified in the list
"Defaults of the Coordinate Systems". The range and syntax check can be
switched on or off with the function setcoordarea().
If in nCoordSysQ or in nCoordSysZ the values 1000 or 1100 are passed, the
function uses the parameters of the user-defined Coordinate Systems
passed before by the functions setusercoordsys1() and/or
setusercoordsys2() and the earth ellipsoids defined before by the
functions setuserellsource() and setuserelltarget()
With the Coordinate Transformation a Reference System Transition from
the geodetic Reference System nRefSysQ of the source Coordinate System can
be considered to the geodetic Reference System nRefSysZ of the target
Coordinate System.
If in nRefSysQ or in nRefSysZ the value 0 is passed, then the geodetic
Reference Systems, usual for the respective Coordinate Systems, are taken
as a basis for the Reference System Transition. The standard reference
systems are specified in the list of "Defaults of the Coordinate Systems".
If in nRefSysQ or in nRefSysZ the value 1000 is passed, the function uses
the parameters of the user-defined Reference Systems passed before by the
functions setuserrefsys() and the earth ellipsoids defined before by the
functions setuserellsource() and setuserelltarget()
If in nRefSysQ or in nRefSysZ the value 1100 is passed or if both
parameters have same value (larger than 0), no Reference System Transition
is performed. Then the earth ellipsoids, usual for the respective coordinate
systems, are taken as a basis for the Coordinate Transformation. The standard
earth ellipsoids are specified in the list "Defaults of the coordinate
systems".
If in nRefSysQ or in nRefSysZ the value 1150 is passed, no Reference System
Transition is performed. Then the earth ellipsoids defined before by the
functions setuserellsource() and setuserelltarget() are taken as a basis for
the Coordinate Transformation.
If in nRefSysQ or in nRefSysZ the value 1200 is passed, no Reference System
Transition nor Ellipsoid Transition are performed.
If for Reference Systems nRefSysQ or nRefSysZ no Reference System
parameters are defined, only an Ellipsoid Transition is performed, but
no Reference System Transition is performed.
For transformations from the source Coordinate Systems Gauss-Krueger and
UTM the meridian strip nStripQ, to which the source coordinates refer,
can be given. The given meridian strip should not deviate more than
3 strips from the native meridian strip of the source coordinate. If in
nStripZ the value 0 is passed, the leading digits of the eastings are
used for automatic calculations of the geographical lengths of the
native meridian strip.
If the parameter nStripQ contains a meridian strip number, with the value
TRUE in the parameter lNoStripQ the input of reduced eastings is made
possible. The eastings then may not contain leading meridian strip
numbers.
Example: nStripQ = 32,
lNoStripQ = TRUE,
UTM Easting 32564410 can be passed as 564410.
For transformations to the target Coordinate Systems Gauss-Krueger and
UTM the meridian strip nStripZ, to which the target coordinates refer,
can be given. The given meridian strip should not deviate more than
3 strips from the native meridian strip of the target coordinate. If in
nStripZ the value 0 is passed, an automatic calculation of the
native meridians strip from the geographical length results.
If the parameter nStripZ contains a meridian strip number, with the value
TRUE in the parameter lNoStripZ the output of reduced Eastings can be
determined. The eastings then do not contain leading meridian strip
numbers.
Example: nStripZ = 32,
lNoStripZ = TRUE,
UTM Easting 32564410 will be passed back as 564410.
The following transformations are possible:
Coordinate Transformations with maintaining the Reference System.
Coordinate Transformations with Reference System Transition.
Coordinate Transformation with Ellipsoid Transition when Reference System
parameters not defined.
Reference System Transition with maintaining the Coordinate System.
Change of the notation (way of writing) with geographical coordinates.
Change of the meridian strip with Gauss-Krueger and UTM coordinates.
Input and output of reduced Gauss-Krueger and UTM coordinates.
Conversion in the native meridian strip with Gauss-Krueger and UTM
coordinates.
The parameters are passed and/or returned as follows:
nCoordXQ Longitude, East or X component of the numeric source
coordinate.
During processing of an alphanumeric coordinate this
parameter is without meaning. The input format of the
coordinate (notation) is described in the list "Defaults
of the Coordinate Systems".
nCoordYQ Latitude, North or Y component of the numeric source
coordinate.
During processing of an alphanumeric coordinate this
parameter is without meaning. The input format of the
coordinate (notation) is described in the list "Defaults
of the Coordinate Systems".
pszCoordQ Alphanumeric source coordinate.
During processing of a numeric coordinate this parameter is
without meaning. In this case for pszCoordQ a NULL pointer
can be passed. The input format of the coordinate (notation)
is described in the list "Defaults of the Coordinate Systems".
nCoordSysQ Coordinate System of the source coordinates.
(see list "Coordinate Reference Systems").
nRefSysQ Geodetic Reference System of the source coordinates.

nUnitQ Measurement Unit of the source coordinates.
0 The source coordinates are specified in a standard Measurement
Unit, as for the Coordinate System preset in GeoDLL. If necessary,
they are translated in meters for internal use.
(see list "Default settings" [source code: settings_e.txt]).
› 0 The source coordinates are specified in a particular Measurement
Unit and are translated in meters for internal use.
(see list "Coordinate Reference Systems alphabetical" [source:
sysalpha_e.txt]).
1000 No effect. The source coordinates are not converted to another
Measurement Unit.
nStripQ Meridian strip to use with the source Coordinate System.
This parameter has only an effect, if a "Transversal Mercator
meridian strip system" is registered in nCoordSysQ.
0 Using of the leading digits of the easting for the calculation
of the natural meridian strip.
› 0 Using of the value in nStripQ for the calculation of the
natural meridian strip.
lNoStripQ Setting for the suppressing of the meridian strip number in
the eastings. This parameter has only an effect, if a
"Transversal Mercator meridian strip system" is registered in
nCoordSysQ.
TRUE Eastings must be passed without leading meridian strip numbers.
FALSE Eastings must be passed with leading meridian strip numbers.
nCoordXZ Longitude, East or X component of the numeric target
(ref) coordinate.
During processing of an alphanumeric coordinate this
parameter is without meaning. The return format of the
coordinate (notation) is described in the list "Defaults
of the Coordinate Systems".
nCoordYZ Latitude, North or Y component of the numeric target
(ref) coordinate.
During processing of an alphanumeric coordinate this
parameter is without meaning. The return format of the
coordinate (notation) is described in the list "Defaults
of the Coordinate Systems".
pszCoordZ Alphanumeric target coordinate.
(ref) During processing of a numeric coordinate this parameter is
without meaning. In this case for pszCoordZ a NULL pointer
can be passed. The return format of the coordinate (notation)
is described in the list "Defaults of the Coordinate Systems".
Note: "ref pszCoordZ" corresponds to "char**" in C. 20 bytes of
memory for the zero terminated string must be allocated with
dependence to the call of the function setstringallocate().
Please consider the notes in the description of the function
setstringallocate().
nCoordSysZ Coordinate System of the target coordinates.
(see list "Coordinate Reference Systems").
nRefSysZ Geodetic Reference System of the target coordinates.

nUnitZ Measurement Unit of the target coordinates.
0 The target coordinates will be calculated in a standard Measurement
Unit, as for the Coordinate System preset in GeoDLL. If necessary,
they will be translated from internal useed meters to the preset
Measurement Unit.
(see list "Default settings" [source code: settings_e.txt]).
› 0 The target coordinates will be calculated in a particular
Measurement Unit. They will be translated from internal useed
meters to the given Measurement Unit.
(see list "Coordinate Reference Systems alphabetical" [source:
sysalpha_e.txt]).
1000 No effect. The target coordinates are not converted to another
Measurement Unit.
nStripZ Meridian strip to use with the target Coordinate System.
This parameter has only an effect, if a "Transversal Mercator
meridian strip system" is registered in nCoordSysZ.
0 Calculation of the native meridian strip from the geographic
longitude.
› 0 Calculation of the easting with the strip number nStripZ as
native meridian strip.
lNoStripZ Setting for the suppressing of the meridian strip number in
the eastings. This parameter has only an effect, if a
"Transversal Mercator meridian strip system" is registered in
nCoordSysZ.
TRUE Eastings are returned without leading meridian strip numbers.
FALSE Eastings are returned with leading meridian strip numbers.
returnVal In case of an error the function returns FALSE, otherwise TRUE.
Range validity
The range limitations of the source coordinates and the calculated target
coordinates are examined on the basis the geographical coordinates
specified under the term "Range (Lon / Lat)" in the list "Defaults of the
Coordinate Systems". The syntax and range examination can be switched off by
the function setCoordArea().
With user-defined Coordinate Systems the range values are calculated
automatically from the origin point of the respective Coordinate System.
Notations
The coordinates of the different Coordinate Systems are written with the
notations specified under the term "Notation (E / N)" in the list
"Defaults of the Coordinate Systems". As many as desired right-of-comma
positions can be added.
A specification of the notations can be found at the end of the list
"Defaults of the Coordinate Systems".
Standard Reference Systems
The Reference Systems specified under the term "Standard RefSys" in the
list "Defaults of the Coordinate Systems" are assigned to the coordinates
systems, if in the parameters nRefSysQ or nRefSysZ a zero is passed.
Special features using NTv2 grid files
Download of NTv2 files:
The commonly used NTv2 files can be download from the KilletSoft-Website
or can be purchased from suppliers of geoservices.
Encrypted NTv2 files:
To protect the rights of some authors that provide NTv2 files specifically
for use with KilletSoft products, GeoDLL supports encrypted NTv2 files that
can be download from the KilletSoft website.
Polygonal Validity Scopes:
The scope of an NTv2 file is by default defined by quadrangular coordinate
boxes. In order to be able to implement polygonal structures, e.g. such as
national borders, the producer of an NTv2 file therein can specify a
Polygonal Validity Scope. For this, outside of the poligonal validity
located grid meshes are indicated by the exopolygonal entries -99/-99 in
their shift or accuracy values. GeoDLL can check the grid meshes on
exopolygonal entries and exclude hits from the calculation and comment
them with an error message. The Polygonal Validity Check will be switched
on or off using the function setntvpolyvalid(). Detailed information can
be found in the help section "Polygonal Validity Scopes".
Please take further references from the description of the function
coordtrans().
Unlocking:
This function is a component of the unlock requiring function group
"Coordinate Transformations". It is unlocked for unrestricted use
together with the other functions of the group by passing the unlock
parameters, acquired from the software distribution company, trough the
function setunlockcode(). Without unlocking only a few function calls for
test purposes (shareware principle) are possible.
Reference System Transitions with NTv2 grid files require an additional
unlocking of the function group "NTv2 Transformations".
