SetSpatialReference Method
Sets the spatial reference of this dataset.
| Class: | MODISL3SSTTimeSeries |
| Intended use: | Recommended for external callers |
| COM: | Not exposed by a COM class |
| ArcGIS: | Not exposed as an ArcGIS geoprocessing tool |
| Method type: | Instance Method |
Usage
| grid.SetSpatialReference( | srType, sr) |
Arguments
- srType
| Python type: | unicode |
| Allowed values: | u'WKT', u'ArcGIS', u'Proj4', u'Obj' |
Type of spatial reference you are providing for the sr parameter.
The allowed values are:
- WKT - sr is a WKT string in standard OGC format.
- ArcGIS - sr is a WKT string in ESRI format, typically obtained from
a dataset produced by ArcGIS. (The ESRI format differs from the OGC
standard; various projections and parameters are named differently
and certain nodes are not recognized. See the OSR documentation for
more information.)
- Proj4 - sr is a string suitable for passing to the Proj4 utility.
- Obj - sr is an instance of the OSR SpatialReference class.
- sr
Spatial reference for the dataset.
Remarks
This function is similar in operation to the ArcGIS Define
Projection geoprocessing tool; it changes the spatial reference of the
dataset without changing any of the data itself. It does not
geographically project the existing data to the new spatial reference.
It is used mainly to fix datasets that do not have a spatial reference
or that are using the wrong one.
Not all datasets support setting the spatial reference. To determine
if the spatial reference can be set, test the 'SetSpatialReference'
capability.
