[mapguide-users] OnPointDigitized and GetTransform

[Jackie Ng]

GetTransform() requires two MgCoordinateSystem objects. These are created
from the MgCoordinateSystemFactory, which you have to pass in wkt strings of
the coordinate systems.

So you need 2 wkt strings:

1) The map's coordinate system (The GetMapSRS() method of MgMap will return
this string)
2) The WGS84 coordinate system (You'll have to find this string yourself)

Then with the MgCoordinateSystemTransform object obtained from
GetTransform(), call Transform() passing in your digitized points, which
will then return the transformed points (in WGS84)
