Coordinate reference system definitions control the reference system at the drawing instruction level. A top-level portrayal parameter (layer property) indicates whether portrayal units are measured as millimetres at map scale (symbology scales with zoom factor) or as millimetres on the display device (constant/fixed size symbology).
This table1 lists the definitions that can be applied
Coordinate reference system definition | Description |
|---|---|
GeographicCRS | A geographic coordinate reference system with axis latitude and longitude measured in degrees. Angles are defined clockwise from the true north direction. Distances will be measured in metres. |
PortrayalCRS | A Cartesian coordinate system with the y-axis pointing upwards. Units on the axes and for distances are millimetres. Angles are measured in degrees clockwise from the positive y-axis. Note that the actual output device may have a different orientation of the y-axis. |
LocalCRS | A Cartesian coordinate system originated at a local geometry. Units on the axes and for distances are millimetres. Angles are measured in degrees clockwise from the positive y-axis. |
LineCRS | A none-Cartesian coordinate system where the x-axis is following the geometry of a curve and the y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis (positive to the left of the x-axis). Units on the axes and for distances are millimetres. Angles are measured in degrees clockwise from the positive y-axis (perpendicular to tangent). |
