This task reprojects the records in a vector from one coordinate system to another.

Example


This example reprojects a shapefile of U.S. counties to the same coordinate system as a raster so that they can be displayed in the same view.

; Start the application
e = ENVI()
 
; Open a shapefile of counties
VectorFile = Filepath('counties.shp', $
  Subdir=['classic', 'data', 'vector'], $
  Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
Vector = e.OpenVector(VectorFile)
 
; Open an input raster
RasterFile = Filepath('bhtmref.img', $
  Subdir=['classic', 'data'], $
  Root_Dir=e.Root_Dir)
Raster = e.OpenRaster(RasterFile)
 
; Get the coordinate system of the raster
CoordSys = ENVICoordSys( $
  COORD_SYS_CODE=Raster.SPATIALREF.COORD_SYS_CODE)
 
; Get the task from the catalog of ENVITasks
Task = ENVITask('ReprojectVector')
 
; Define inputs
Task.INPUT_VECTOR = Vector
Task.COORD_SYS = CoordSys
 
; Run the task
Task.Execute
 
; Display the reprojected vector over the raster
View = e.GetView()
RasterLayer = View.CreateLayer(Raster)
VectorLayer = View.CreateLayer(Task.OUTPUT_VECTOR)
View.Zoom, 0.14

Syntax


Result = ENVITask('ReprojectVector')

Input properties (Set, Get): INPUT_VECTOR, COORD_SYS, OUTPUT_VECTOR_URI

Output properties (Get only): OUTPUT_VECTOR

Properties marked as "Set" are those that you can set to specific values. You can also retrieve their current values any time. Properties marked as "Get" are those whose values you can retrieve but not set.
