Function Documentation

◆ G_database_datum_name()

const char* G_database_datum_name ( void )

Get datum name for the current location.

Returns a pointer to the name of the map datum of the current database. If there is no map datum explicitly associated with the actual database, the standard map datum WGS84 is returned, on error a NULL pointer is returned.

Returns: datum name

Definition at line 186 of file proj3.c.

References name.

◆ G_database_ellipse_name()

const char* G_database_ellipse_name ( void )

Get ellipsoid name for the current location.

Returns: pointer to valid name if ok; NULL on error

Definition at line 212 of file proj3.c.

References name.

◆ G_database_epsg_code()

const char* G_database_epsg_code ( void )

Get EPGS code for the current location.

Returns: pointer to valid EPSG code on success; NULL on error

Definition at line 236 of file proj3.c.

◆ G_database_projection_name()

const char* G_database_projection_name ( void )

Query cartographic projection for the current location.

Returns a pointer to a string which is a printable name for projection code proj (as returned by G_projection). Returns NULL if proj is not a valid projection.

Returns: projection name

◆ G_database_unit()

int G_database_unit ( void )

Get units id for the current location.

Returns: units id

◆ G_database_unit_name()

const char* G_database_unit_name ( int plural )

Get units (localized) name for the current location.

Returns a string describing the database grid units. It returns a plural form (eg. 'feet') if plural is non-zero. Otherwise it returns a singular form (eg. 'foot').

Parameters

plural plural form if non-zero

Returns: localized units name

◆ G_database_units_to_meters_factor()

double G_database_units_to_meters_factor ( void )

Conversion to meters.

Returns a factor which converts the grid unit to meters (by multiplication). If the database is not metric (eg. imagery) then 0.0 is returned.

Returns: value
