Eccentricity of the Ellipsoid squared

Namespace:  EGIS.ShapeFileLib
Assembly:  EGIS.ShapeFileLib (in EGIS.ShapeFileLib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property EccentricitySquared As Double
	Get
	Set
C#
public double EccentricitySquared { get; set; }
Visual C++
public:
property double EccentricitySquared {
	double get ();
	void set (double value);
}
JavaScript
function get_eccentricitySquared();
function set_eccentricitySquared(value);

Remarks

E^2 is related to the flattening of the Ellipsoid as follows:

E^2 = 1 - (1-f)^2

Note that in most SPHEROID parameters of the WKT format the flattening is expressed as 1/f. For example, in SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101] 1/f = 298.257222101
