Parses inverse flattening of a reference ellipsoid from the provided string.

Parameters

str

a string to be parsed

inverseFlattening

the parsed inverse flattening, passed by reference (out)

errorMessage

an error message, passed by reference (out), that contains detailed error / warning information

Return Value

true - the function has succeeded, false - it has failed

Remarks

The function verifies validity of the parsing result. The valid inverse flattening is a real number.

Example

This sample shows how to call the Mercator.ParseInverseFlattening method from C# code:

 string errorMessage = String.Empty;
 
 string str = "298.257223563";
 double inverseFlattening = Double.NaN;

 if (Mercator.ParseInverseFlattening(str, out inverseFlattening, out errorMessage))
 {
     Console.WriteLine("Inverse flattening: " + inverseFlattening.ToString());
 }
 else
 {
     Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
 }
