virtual MgCoordinate* MgCoordinateSystemMeasure::GetCoordinate	(	double	xStart,
		double	yStart,
		double	azimuth,
		double	distance
	)			`[pure virtual]`

Computes a coordinate a given distance along a vector that is defined by a starting coordinate and an azimuth (Angle with respect to the North).

.NET Syntax

virtual MgCoordinate GetCoordinate(double lon, double lat, double azimuth, double distance);

Java Syntax

virtual MgCoordinate GetCoordinate(double lon, double lat, double azimuth, double distance);

PHP Syntax

virtual MgCoordinate GetCoordinate(double lon, double lat, double azimuth, double distance);

Parameters:

	xStart	(double) The x value in coordinate system units of the starting coordinate.
	yStart	(double) The y value in coordinate system units of the starting coordinate.
	azimuth	(double) An azimuth (Angle with respect to the North) that defines the direction of the vector.
	distance	(double) The distance along the vector to the desired coordinate in meters.

Returns:: Returns an MgCoordinate object containing the x and y value in ecoordinate system units of a coordinate that lies the given distance along the vector.

Example (PHP) See MgCoordinateSystemMeasure::GetAzimuth Method (MgCoordinate*, MgCoordinate*) for the code creating $azimuth12 and $azimuth21. See MgCoordinateSystemMeasure::GetDistance Method (MgCoordinate*, MgCoordinate*) for the code computing the distance between the coordinates. The longitude and latitude of $coord12 is (-71.061342, 42.355892), and the longitude and latitude of $coord21 is (-74.806394, 40.714169).

 $coord12 = $coordSysMeasure->GetCoordinate(-74.806394, 40.714169, $azimuth12, $distance);
 $coord21 = $coordSysMeasure->GetCoordinate(-71.061342, 42.355892, $azimuth21, $distance);

Example (C#)

 using OSGeo.MapGuide;
 private MgCoordinateSystemMeasure geogCSMeasure;
 private MgCoordinate geogCSX1Y1Coord;
 private double geogCSX = -160.101421317;
 private double geogCSY = 22.0234263273;
 private double geogCSX1 = -159.721535121256;
 private double geogCSY1 = 24.0028259520524;
 private double geogCSAzimuth = 10.0;
 private double geogCSDistance = 2.0;
 private double tolerance = 0.001;
 private Boolean isEquivalent;

 geogCSX1Y1Coord = geogCSMeasure.GetCoordinate(geogCSX, geogCSY, geogCSAzimuth, geogCSDistance);
 // the X and Y values of geogCSX1Y1Coord are equal to geogCSX1 and geogCSY1
 isEquivalent = Math.Abs(geogCSX1 - geogCSX1Y1Coord.GetX()) < tolerance && Math.Abs(geogCSY1 - geogCSX1Y1Coord.GetY()) < tolerance;
