virtual MgCoordinateSystem* MgCoordinateSystemFactory::Create ( CREFSTRING  wkt) [virtual]

Creates an MgCoordinateSystem instance given a definition of the coordinate system in OpenGIS Well-Known Text (WKT) format. See WKT of Spatial Reference System and Coordinate System Test Values .

.NET Syntax
virtual MgCoordinateSystem Create(string wkt);
Java Syntax
virtual MgCoordinateSystem Create(String wkt);
PHP Syntax
virtual MgCoordinateSystem Create(string wkt);
Parameters:
wkt(String/string) A string defining the coordinate system in OpenGIS WKT format.
Returns:
Returns an MgCoordinateSystem instance that corresponds to the specified WKT definition.
