Remarks

JpgPictureElement is the picture element type to use when you wish to add Jpeg pictures to a graphics container.

Remarks

SelectionTracker returns the ISelectionTracker used by the element. Elements have associated selection tracker objects which provide reshaping functionality. For example, in ArcMap after adding an element, the element is drawn with a selection tracker around it and users can then drag one of the selection handles on the selection tracker to modify the element's shape.

                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException
Indicates if the given x and y coordinates are contained by the element.

Remarks

HitTest returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the current element is intersected by the specified coordinate pair and tolerance distance. For instance, if we have a line element selected, the HitTest is determining whether that line element is within the specified tolerance from the given X and Y.

                                AutomationException
Custom property.

Remarks

CustomProperty is a place for developers to attach custom objects to an element. Previous versions of the software required that the specified variant be of type VT_UNKNOWN, i.e. a reference to an object, but that requirement has since been removed. Now, the CustomProperty can also be a simple type like an integer, double, boolean (VARIANT_BOOL) or a string (BSTR).

When this property is an object reference, the object must implement a persistence interface, so if you write a custom object it must implement IPersistStream or IPersistVariant. As an alternative to writing a custom object, you can use a PropertySet or XMLPropertySet, since they both already implement IPersistStream.

CustomProperty is never used by the core ArcObjects for its own elements, but the core software will expect to find an IPersistStream or IPersistVariant interface when the this property is an object reference, and it is part of an element being retrieved from or stored in an .mxd file.

           throws IOException,
                  AutomationException
Scales about the specified origin using seperate horizonal and vertical scales. The origin point can be in a different spatial reference than the geometry being scaled.

Description

Stretches the Geometry a factor of sX along the X-Axis and a factor of sY along the Y-Axis (where sX is the ratio of Old Width to New Width, and sY is the ratio of Old Height to New Height). The Origin point is the reference Point from which the transformation is performed (Regardless of the location of the Origin point, the Geometry resulting from the transformation is the same, except for a positional offset). The Origin is the only point in the transformation guaranted to remain in the same location after the transformation is complete.

Remarks

Note: Caution must be taken when scaling a CircularArc or a geometry containing CircularArc segments. Unless Abs(ScaleX) = Abs(ScaleY), the resulting CircularArcs will not retain the characteristics of the original geometry (since they remain CircularArcs).

Rotates about the specified origin point. The angle is in radians. The origin can be in a different spatial reference than the geometry being rotated.

Description

Rotate performs an angular transform (rotation) on the Geometry. The Origin is the only point in the transformation guaranteed to remain in the same location after the transformation is performed. Regardless of the Origin, the transformed Geometry is the same, except for a positional offset. The RotationAngle is measured in radians.

Remarks
