Multipoint (arcpy)

Zusammenfassung

Multipoint objects are ordered collection of points.

Diskussion

Bei vielen Workflows der Geoverarbeitung möchten Sie eventuell bestimmte Vorgänge mit Koordinaten- und Geometriedaten ausführen, jedoch nicht unbedingt eine neue (temporäre) Feature-Class erstellen, diese mit Cursorn füllen, die Feature-Class verwenden und dann die vorläufige Feature-Class wieder löschen. Sie können anstelle von Eingabe und Ausgabe auch Geometrieobjekte verwenden und so die Geoverarbeitung vereinfachen. Geometrieobjekte können von Grund auf neu mit Geometry-, Multipoint-, PointGeometry-, Polygon- oder Polyline-Classes erstellt werden.

Methodenübersicht

Methode	Erläuterung
boundary ()	Constructs the boundary of the geometry.
buffer (distance)	Constructs a polygon at a specified distance from the geometry.
clip (envelope)	Constructs the intersection of the geometry and the specified extent.
contains (second_geometry)	Gibt an, ob die Basisgeometrie die Vergleichsgeometrie enthält. contains ist das Gegenteil von within. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
convexHull ()	Constructs the geometry that is the minimal bounding polygon such that all outer angles are convex.
crosses (second_geometry)	Gibt an, ob die beiden Geometrien sich in einer Geometrie mit einem geringeren Shape-Typ überschneiden. Zwei Polylinien kreuzen sich, wenn sie nur Punkte gemeinsam haben, von denen mindestens einer kein Endpunkt ist. Eine Polylinie und ein Polygon kreuzen sich, wenn sie im Inneren des Polygons eine Polylinie oder einen Punkt (für eine vertikale Linie) gemeinsam haben, die bzw. der nicht der gesamten Polylinie entspricht. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
difference (other)	Constructs the geometry that is composed only of the region unique to the base geometry but not part of the other geometry. The following illustration shows the results when the red polygon is the source geometry.
disjoint (second_geometry)	Gibt an, ob die Basis- und die Vergleichsgeometrie keine gemeinsamen Punkte aufweisen. Zwei Geometrien überschneiden sich, wenn disjoint den Wert False zurückgibt. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
distanceTo (other)	Returns the minimum distance between two geometries. If the geometries intersect, the minimum distance is 0. Both geometries must have the same projection.
equals (second_geometry)	Indicates if the base and comparison geometries are of the same shape type and define the same set of points in the plane. This is a 2D comparison only; M and Z values are ignored. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
getArea (type)	Returns the area of the feature using a measurement type.
getLength (measurement_type)	Returns the length of the feature using a measurement type.
getPart ({index})	Returns an array of point objects for a particular part of geometry or an array containing a number of arrays, one for each part.
intersect (other, dimension)	Constructs a geometry that is the geometric intersection of the two input geometries. Different dimension values can be used to create different shape types. The intersection of two geometries of the same shape type is a geometry containing only the regions of overlap between the original geometries. For faster results, test if the two geometries are disjoint before calling intersect.
overlaps (second_geometry)	Gibt an, üb die Überschneidung der beiden Geometrien denselben Shape-Typ wie eine der Eingabegeometrien aufweist, aber keiner der Eingabegeometrien entspricht. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
positionAlongLine (value, {use_percentage})	Returns a point on a line at a specified distance from the beginning of the line.
projectAs (spatial_reference, {transformation_name})	Projects a geometry and optionally applies a geotransformation. To project, the geometry needs to have a spatial reference, and not have an UnknownCoordinateSystem. The new spatial reference system passed to the method defines the output coordinate system. If either spatial reference is unknown the coordinates will not be changed. The Z- and measure values are not changed by the ProjectAs method.
symmetricDifference (other)	Constructs the geometry that is the union of two geometries minus the instersection of those geometries. The two input geometries must be the same shape type.
touches (second_geometry)	Gibt an, ob sich die Grenzen der Geometrien überschneiden. Zwei Geometrien berühren sich, wenn die Schnittmenge der Geometrien nicht leer, die Schnittmengen der Innenbereiche jedoch leer ist. Ein Punkt berührt beispielsweise eine Polylinie nur, wenn der Punkt lagegleich mit einem der Endpunkte der Polylinie ist. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
union (other)	Constructs the geometry that is the set-theoretic union of the input geometries. The two geometries being unioned must be the same shape type.
within (second_geometry)	Gibt an, ob sich die Basisgeometrie innerhalb der Vergleichsgeometrie befindet. Der within-Operator stellt das Gegenteil von contains dar. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

getArea (type)

Parameter	Erläuterung	Datentyp
type	PLANAR measurements reflect the projection of geographic data onto the 2D surface (in other words, they will not take into account the curvature of the earth). GEODESIC, GREAT_ELLIPTIC, LOXODROME, and PRESERVE_SHAPE measurement types may be chosen as an alternative, if desired. GEODESIC —The shortest line between any two points on the earth's surface on a spheroid (ellipsoid). One use for a geodesic line is when you want to determine the shortest distance between two cities for an airplane's flight path. This is also known as a great circle line if based on a sphere rather than an ellipsoid. GREAT_ELLIPTIC —The line on a spheroid (ellipsoid) defined by the intersection at the surface by a plane that passes through the center of the spheroid and the start and endpoints of a segment. This is also known as a great circle when a sphere is used. LOXODROME —A loxodrome is not the shortest distance between two points but instead defines the line of constant bearing, or azimuth. Great circle routes are often broken into a series of loxodromes, which simplifies navigation. This is also known as a rhumb line. PLANAR —Planar measurement use 2D Cartesian mathematics to calculate lengths and areas. This option is only available when measuring in a projected coordinate system and the 2D plane of that coordinate system will be used as the basis for the measurements. PRESERVE_SHAPE —This type calculates the area or length of the geometry on the surface of the Earth ellipsoid, for geometry defined in a projected or geographic coordinate system. This option preserves the shape of the geometry in its coordinate system.	String
