Method Detail

isChanged

boolean isChanged()
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

Indicates if a geometry has been changed (edited, projected, etc).

Description

The Changed method returns whether or not the geometry has been modified. If the geometry always stays in memory that method only returns 'false' immediately after its creation. However if the shape came from disk the Changed method will return 'false' until de geometry is modified in memory.
