project

public void project(ISpatialReference newReferenceSystem)
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Projects this geometry into a new spatial reference.

Description

To Project, the geometry needs to have a Spatial Reference set, 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 are not changed. The Z and measure values are not changed by the Project method.

A geometry is not densified before it is projected. This can lead to the output geometries not reflecting the 'true' shape in the new coordinate system. A straight line in one coordinate system is not necessarily a straight line in a different coordinate system. Use IGeometry2::ProjectEx if you want to densify the geometries while they are projected.

The Project method must be applied on high-level geometries only. High-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use this method with low-level geometries such as segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, B�zier Curve), paths or rings, they must be wrapped into high-level geometry types.

If a geometry is projected to a projected coordinate system that can't represent the geographic area where the geometry is located (or if trying to move an xy coordinate from outside the projected coordinate system back into geographic), the geometry will be set to empty.

Remarks

Note: This method can only be called upon the top level geometries (Points, Multipoints, Polylines and Polygons). If the from/to spatial references have different geographic coordinate systems, the Project method looks for a GeoTransformationsOperationSet. If the set of Geotransformations is present in memory, Project will use it to perform a geographic/datum Transformation. To use a specific geotransformation, use the IGeometry2::ProjectEx method.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: project in interface IGeometry

Parameters:: newReferenceSystem - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISpatialReference (in)

Moves points of this geometry so that they can be represented in the precision of the geometry's associated spatial reference system.

Remarks

SnapToSpatialReference rounds all coordinates to the resolution defined by the geometry's spatial reference system. This has a similar effect on the geometry as storing the geometry in a Geodatabase.

Product Availability

Remarks

GeoNormalize acts on geometries whose geographic system coordinates are below -180 degrees longitude or over +180 degrees longitude or on geometries that span the +-180 degrees longitude.

This method requires the geometry to have a valid spatial reference (geographic or projected coordinate system).

This method is used internally as part of the projection process for polygons and polylines. It is typically not used by itself.

               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Projects a geometry, optionally applies a GeoTransformation, and optionally densifies the geometry.

Remarks

By default, ProjectEx will not densify geometries as they are projected. This can lead to the output geometries not reflecting the 'true' shape in the new coordinate system. A straight line in one coordinate system is not necessarily a straight line in a different coordinate system. Set the bAngularDensify parameter if you want to densify the geometries while they are projected.

Adds references to the segments from the specified segment collection.

Description

Adds a Segment Collection of Segments to the end of the existing Segment Collection. It is assumed that the From Point of the new Segment Collection is the same as the To Point of the existing Segment Collection.

Remarks

AddSegmentCollection add the other geometry to the last part of the current geometry.
For example, adding a polyline (with one part) to another polyline (with one part)
is adding the second polyline segments into the first part of the other polyline
even if the polylines are disjoint.

                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Deprecated. This method uses C style arrays which are not supported in the ArcGIS API for Java. It is replaced by GeometryEnvironment.replaceSegments(com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISegmentCollection, int, int, com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISegment[]).

Removes and inserts from segments. This method is intended for internal use only.

Description

Removes a specified number (goingAway) of Segments from a Segment Collection starting at a given index and replaces them (starting at the same index) with a specified number (comingIn) of Segments from an array of Segments.

Remarks

ReplaceSegments will return an error ("The index is either too large or too small") if the inputs are inconsistent. For example, specifying index = 4 on a polyline with only 2 segments.

On multipart geometry, segments cannot be replaced on more than one part at the time. For example, an error (("The index is either too large or too small") is returned on a polyline with two parts containing three segments each when specifying index= 2, incoming= 2, removal= 2. The error is returned because the first part doesn't contain enough segments to remove two segments starting at index = 2. This behavior is enforced for performance reasons. Please see the example.

                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Adds a reference to the input geometry either at the end, or before, or after the specified index.

Remarks

When applying the AddGeometry method give either the before or after index and not both. Adding a Geometry to the collection as the first one is done by setting the before index as 0.

The spatial reference of the GeometryCollection is transferred (objects projected if necessary) to any objects added to it. However the spatial reference of the added geometry is not transferred to the GeometryCollection. Always make sure to set the spatial reference on the object GeometryCollection prior to add other geometries to it to avoid creating invalid geometry. For example, adding geometry objects to a GeometryBag that doesn't have a well-defined spatial reference will set an undefined spatial reference to all the objects added to the bag. Using this GeometryBag may cause unexpected behavior with the ITopologicalOperator::ConstructUnion method.

                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException

Tells this geometry collection that some of its geometries have been altered. Use this method on polylines, polygons and multipatches after directly editing one of its parts.

Description

GeometriesChanged flags that the geometries have been changed. It also marks a top level geometry as being non-simple. Use it when manipulating the parts of a geometry directly (for example, rotating a ring). The top level geometry won't know that its cached envelope, length, centroid, etc. are invalid until this method is used.

                               AutomationException

Reverses the parameterization of the curve ('from' point becomes 'to' point, first segment becomes last segment, etc).

Description

ReverseOrientation changes the direction of the curve without changing the spatial position of the curve. The From Point and To Point of each Segment in each part of the curve are interchanged.

Remarks

The ReverseOrientation method works the same way as the Arcedit FLIP command. It reverses the order of the vertices in the Curve.

Caution should be taken in using ReverseOrientation on Polygons. Since ReverseOrientation changes the direction of each Ring within the Polygon, all Exterior Rings become Interior Rings and vice versa.

Description

A curve is closed if the From and To points of each part of the curve are equal.

Remarks

IsClosed may still return TRUE if the curve consists of improperly constructed geometries (ex. non-continuous paths). IsClosed only checks the location of the From and To points of each part, it does not check the internal parts for topological consistency.

densify

             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Converts this polycurve into a piecewise linear approximation of itself.

Description

Converts Polycurve into a Polycurve composed of Line segments with length maxSegmentLength (or less) that are within maxDeviation of the original polycurve. If maxDeviation = 0, maxDeviation is ignored and Line segments with length maxSegmentLength are constructed with vertices laying on the original curve. All of the segments in the final polyline will be Lines.

Remarks

If the maxSegmentLength is negative IGeometryEnvironment::AutoDensifyTolerance is used. IGeometryEnvironment::AutoDensifyTolerance default value is 0. This value can be explicitly set via IGeometryEnvironment::AutoDensifyTolerance.

If the maxDeviation is negative IGeometryEnvironment::DeviationAutoDensifyTolerance is used. The default value is 2*XYResolution * 100 (2/XYUnits * 100). This value can be explicitly set via IGeometryEnvironment::DeviationAutoDensifyTolerance.

In order to avoid the creation of too many segments, the geometry system uses a maxdeviation = 2*xyResolution * 100 as default value if maxSegmentLength is 0 and the maxDeviation is 0.

If the maxDeviation is positive but smaller than 2*XYResolution of the spatial reference then the maxDeviation used is 2*XYResolution * 100

NOTE: The default values given in this topic are subject to change without notice. If specific values want to be maintained we recommend using the methods on IGeometryEnvironment to set those explicitly.

The start and end points are always honored and remain the same as for the original feature.

Generalizes this polycurve using the Douglas-Poiker algorithm.

Description

Generalizes each part of a Polycurve into a generalized collection of Line segments. Generalize performs a Douglas-Poiker Generalization algorithm with a specified maximum offset tolerance given as input. For Line segments, the Generalized output is a subset of the original input vertices. For non-Linear segments, the Generalized output contains points along all parts of the curve, not necessarily only the vertices.

Remarks

For polycurve with non-linear segments, the output curve may contain more vertices than the input curve, but all output segments will be linear.

Generalizes using a small tolerance based upon either the system units of the geometry's spatial reference, or the geometry's bounding box.

Description

Weed Generalizes each part of a Polycurve into a generalized collection of Line segments. Weed performs a Douglas-Poiker Generalization algorithm with a specified multiple of the internal tolerance given as input. For Line segments, the Generalized output is a subset of the original input vertices. For non-Linear segments, the Generalized output contains points along all parts of the curve, not necessarily only the vertices.

Remarks

For polycurve with non-linear segments, the output curve may contain more vertices than the input curve, but all output segments will be linear.

smooth

public void smooth(double maxAllowableOffset)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

Converts this curve into a smooth curve containing only Bezier curve segments.

Description

Converts the Polycurve into a Polycurve containing only BezierCurve segments. If the maxAllowableOffset parameter is zero, each segment of the input Polycurve becomes a separate Bezier curve. If maxAllowableOffset if greater than zero, the polycurve is generalized first by the Douglas-Poiker method using the maxAllowableOffset value. Bezier curves are then created for each of the remaining segments. The created BezierCurve polycurve is an approximation of the original polycurve. At each vertex, the adjoining BezierCurves have complementary tangents which creates a continuous (smooth) transition between segments.

As an alternative, compare IConstructCurve2::ApproximateByBeziers.

Remarks

projectOnto is an input parameter that determines if the output point will be located on the polycurve. If projectOnto is true and the input point is not already on the polycurve then the point is projected on the curve.

createPart is an input parameter that determines if parts (paths) have to be created. createPart must be FALSE for polygons. For polylines, if createPart is TRUE, the part on which the new split point falls is split into two parts with the newly added vertex serving as the end of the first part and the beginning of the second.

SplitHappened is an output parameter that tells if the polycurve has been split or not.

newPartIndex is an output parameter that tells on which part (ring or path) the point has been introduced.

newSegmentIndex is an output parameter that tells what is the index of the new created segment. That index is zero based and part relative (start at 0 for each part).

densifyByAngle

public void densifyByAngle(double maxSegmentLength,

                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Converts this polycurve into a piecewise linear approximation of itself. Vertices are introduced at points where the included angle between tangents at those point is maxAngleDeviation.

Description

Converts a Polycurve into a Polycurve composed of Line segments with length maxSegmentLength (or less) that are within maxDeviation of the original polycurve. If maxDeviation = 0, maxDeviation is ignored and Line segments with length maxSegmentLength are constructed with vertices located on the original curve. All of the segments in the final polyline will be Lines. The maxDeviation is an angle in radians.

Remarks

If the maxDeviation is negative IGeometryEnvironment::AngularAutoDensifyTolerance is used. The default value is Pi / 18.0. That value can be explicitly set via IGeometryEnvironment::AngularAutoDensifyTolerance.

In order to avoid the creation of too many segments, the geometry system uses a maxDeviation = 2*XYresolution * 100 (or 2/XYUnits * 100) as the default value if maxSegmentLength is 0 and the maxDeviation is 0.

The maximum number of segments that can be produced is 2000, an external user cannot modify that value.

NOTE: The default values given in this topic are subject to change without notice. If you have specific values that you want to be maintained, we recommend using the methods on IGeometryEnvironment to set them explicitly.

The start and end points are always honored and remain the same as for the original feature.

                            AutomationException

Densifies and reshapes existing segments so that the output segments follow the shortest ground path connecting input vertices. maxSegmentLength is in the units of the axis of the underlying spheroid of this polyline's gcs (usually meters).

Description

The GeodesicDensify method modifies a polyline or polygon by inserting vertices. The original geometry is interpreted as a sequential collection of "stops" on the Earth's surface. The inserted vertices define the shape of the shortest ground path connecting those stops. The geometry must be associated with a geographic coordinate system.

The maxSegmentLength parameter is in the units (usually meters) of the semi-major axis of the coordinate system's ellipsoid. The minimum allowable value for this parameter is 1/10,000 of the length of the semi-major axis. This minimum value will be used for densification if the input value of maxSegmentLength is less than that.

Remarks

The image below shows the results of applying the GeodesicDensify method to a polyline representing a flight path with stops in Honolulu and Los Angeles. The original polyline is modified by adding additional segments that identify the shortest ground distance between these locations.

Same as ITopologicalOperator::Simplify, but with some additional options that affect performance and how the interior is classified.

Remarks

Parameters:

preserveFromToPoints: Boolean value that determines if the from/to points of a ring in the polygon need to remain located at ring indexes 0 and PointCount-1 af the completion of the operation. Specify 'false' to improve performance of this operation.

closeRings : Boolean value that determines if the rings of the polygon must be closed prior to reconstruct the topology of the polygon. Specify false if you know that rings are closed or you are passing in spaghetti input that should not be checked for closure.

useXORRule: Boolean value that determines how the 'inside' of the polygon is determined. Specify true to use an even-odd counting rule: a point is inside the polygon if a horizontal line through that has encountered an odd number of boundaries to the left (overlapping boundaries count 1 for each overlap). Use this when the input consists of well-defined rings that need to be oriented correctly, have overlaps removed, etc. Specify false to use the default behavior, which iterates over a two step process: dangle removal, then "peeling off" of the largest unambiguous rings. This approach can remove more segments than the XOR-true approach, but is probably more appropriate for spaghetti input where segment overlaps should not be considered significant.

Here is an example of the different between XOR=TRUE vs. XOR= FALSE:

                        AutomationException

Indicates if the defined relationship exists.

Description

Relation allows a general relation defined using the Shape Comparison Language to be determined between two input geometries. The Shape Comparison Language is based on the Calculus-Based Method (CBM), as described and defined by Clementini and Felice, but has some extensions specific to working with vertex-based geometries and is fully described in the Technical Documents section of the ArcObjects Developer Help. Please refer to the Shape Comparison Language documentation for proper syntax and available functionality.

Note that at the current release, Relation only operates with straight lines.

isSimple

public boolean isSimple()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Indicates whether this geometry is known (or assumed) to be topologically correct, after explicitly determining this if the geometry is not already known (or assumed) to be simple.

Description

Returns TRUE if the geometry is topologically Simple (refer to the discussion for the Simplify method). If the geometry is not Simple, it may be necessary to call Simplify to enforce topological consistency. Editing a geometry can change the IsSimple state of the geometry.

Remarks

ITopologicalOperator methods must be applied on high-level geometries only. High-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use this method with low-level geometries such as segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, Bézier Curve), paths or rings, they must be wrapped into high-level geometries types.

The xy cluster tolerance value of the geometry's associated spatial reference is used by this method. If the goal of this method is to determine if a geometry can be persisted in an sde (or other integer-based) layer without alteration, you may wish to use the minimum xy cluster tolerance value (ISpatialReferenceTolerance::SetMinimumXYTolerance) before applying this method (don't forget to set it back).

This method does not support GeometryBags.

Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

isKnownSimple

public boolean isKnownSimple()
                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException

Indicates whether this geometry is known (or assumed) to be topologically correct.

Description

Returns TRUE when the geometry is aware that it is Simple. IsKnownSimple may return FALSE even if the geometry is simple as long as the geometry is not aware of its IsSimple state. Calling either IsSimple or Simplify makes the IsSimple state known to the geometry. Topologically altering the geometry makes the IsKnownSimple state FALSE until the IsSimple state is again checked.

Remarks

Here is the status of the IsKnownSimple flag in some common situations:

IsKnownSimple = 'False'
- A non-empty newly created geometry. For example, creating a polygon using IPointCollection sets the flag IsKnownSimple = 'false' on that geometry.
- Geometry after projection (IGeometry::Project )
- Geometry after generalization (IPolycurve::Generalize ) or smoothing(IPolycurve::Smooth )
- �

IsKnownSimple = 'True'
- A geometry coming directly from a feature class
- An empty geometry
- Output geometry of any method on ITopologicalOperator
- �

simplify

public void simplify()
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

Makes this geometry topologically correct.

Description

Simplify permanently alters the input geometry, making its definition "topologically legal" with respect to its geometry type:

For Points, Simplify does nothing. A point has no constraints on the values of its coordinates.
For Multipoints, Simplify snaps all X, Y, Z, and M coordinates to the grid of the associated spatial reference, then removes identical points. A point is identical to another point when the two have identical X and Y coordinates (after snapping), and when attributes for which it is aware are identical to the attributes for which the other point is aware. For example, if both points are Z aware, the Z coordinate values must be identical.
For Polylines, Simplify has two variations: planar and non-planar. By default, polylines that are not M-aware are simplified in a planar manner: all overlapping segments are reduced to a single segment, and segments are split at intersection points. Output paths are created for connected sequences of segments. Input segment orientation is preserved where possible, but segments in the interior of a path will be reoriented if necessary. Polylines that are M-aware use non-planar simplification: 1. Overlaps and self-intersections are preserved, but zero length segments are removed, 2. Segment orientations are adjusted so that the 'to' point of segment I is identical to (considering vertex attributes) the 'from' point of Segment I+1, 3. New paths are created where segments are not connected, 4. Existing paths are merged where only two of them meet at a segment endpoint.
For Polygons, Simplify identifies an interior and exterior for the polygon, then modifies the polygon structure to be consistent with that determination. The default methodology for identifying interior and exterior is: 1. Remove all dangling sequences of segments, 2. Identify the largest legal rings, add them to the output version of the polygon, then delete them from the working version, 3. Repeat. If this approach ends up removing too many segments for your application, consider using IPolygon4::SimplifyEx with the XOR parameter set to TRUE. At the end of Simplify, no rings will overlap, no self intersection will occur (except in certain circumstances) and, in general, an arbitrary point can always be classified unambiguously as either outside, on the boundary of, or inside the polygon.

The XY tolerance property of the geometry's associated spatial reference is used during the simplify operation for polylines and polygons.

Remarks

This method first looks at the ITopologicalOperator::IsKnownSimple flag before starting processing. If the flag is 'true' then operation is interrupted and the geometry is considered simple. If the flag is 'false' then the geometry consistency is checked and the geometry is updated as needed.

buffer

public IGeometry buffer(double distance)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Constructs a polygon that is the locus of points at a distance less than or equal to a specified distance from this geometry.

Remarks

The buffer distance is in the same units as the source shape that is being buffered.

A negative distance can be specified to produce a buffer inside the original polygon. This cannot be used with polyline. ITopologicalOperator methods must be applied on top-level geometries only. Top-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use this method with segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, Bézier Curve), paths or rings, they must be wrapped with a top-level type.

Constructs the convex hull of this geometry.

Description

The ConvexHull of a geometry is the minimal bounding polygon such that all outer angles are convex. The ConvexHull of a point is the point itself.

Remarks

ITopologicalOperator methods must be applied on high-level geometries only. High-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use this method with low-level geometries such as segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, B�zier Curve), paths or rings, they must be wrapped into high-level geometries types.

                           AutomationException

Constructs the geometry that is the set-theoretic intersection of the input geometries. Use different resultDimension values to generate results of different dimensions.

Description

The Intersection of two Geometries of the same Dimension is a Geometry containing only the regions of overlap between the original geometries.

Remarks

Intersection is basically an AND between input geometries.

This method does not support GeometryBags.

Since ArcGIS 9.2, Intersect has a larger cost - it takes longer to run the method. Therefore, it is a better approach to test if the two geometries are disjoint before calling Intersect.

Description

QueryClipped returns the portion of the input Geometry that is Contained by the input Envelope. The returned geometry is the same type as the original geometry.

Remarks

The other geometry must be an high-level geometry. High-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use it with low-level geometries such as segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, Bézier Curve), path or ring they must be wrapped into high-level geometries type. The output geometry must be co-created prior to the query. The output geometry is not co-created by the method; it is populated. This can be used in performance critical situations.

         throws IOException,
                AutomationException

Splits this geometry into a part left of the cutting polyline, and a part right of it.

Remarks

When a polyline/polygon is cut, it is split where it intersects the cutter polyline. Each piece is classified as ‘left of’ or ‘right of’ the cutter. This classification is based on the orientation of the cutter line. Parts of the target polyline that do not intersect the cutting polyline are returned as part of the ‘right of’ result for that input polyline. If a geometry is not cut, the left geometry will be empty.

When using a multi-part polyline to cut a single ring of a polyline, the orientation of the polyline paths is important. The cut piece of the ring must be on the same side of each cutting path as defined by the orientation of each path.

constructOffset

public void constructOffset(IPolycurve inCurve,
                            double offset,
                            Object offsetHow,
                            Object bevelRatio)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Constructs a curve being the locus of points offset a given distance from another curve. See the enumeration esriConstructOffsetEnum to information on different ways that offset curve can be generated.

Description

ConstructOffset constructs the offset of the given input Polycurve. If the offset parameter is positive, the constructed offset will be on the right side of the curve (left side offsets are constructed with negative offset parameters). Tracing the curve from it's first vertex to the last will give you a direction along the curve. It is to the right and left respective of this direction that the positive and negative parameters will dictate where the offset is constructed. In these terms it is simple to infer where the offset of even horizontal polycurves will be constructed. The offsetHow parameter determines how outer corners between segments are handled. Rounded offset rounds the corner between extended offsets. Bevelled offset squares off the corner after a given ratio distance. Mitered offset attempts to allow extended offsets to naturally intersect, but if that intersection occurs too far from the corner, the corner is eventually bevelled off at a fixed distance.

Remarks

This results produced by this method are sensitive to large offset distances, particularly when the offset distance is larger than the length of the segments in the reference geometry. The remove self intersecting arcs feature is particularly problematic when extremely large offsets are involved.

The sides of the curve are determined from the order of the vertices of the curve. Tracing the curve from the first vertex to the last will give you a direction along the curve it is to the right and left of this direction that the positive and negative parameters will dictate where the offset is constructed. In these terms it is simple to infer where the offset will be constructed.

One alternative is to use buffer to generate the offsets.

                                 AutomationException

Constructs a curve which approximates the input curve by a small number of Bezier segments.

Description

ApproximateByBeziers constructs a curve consisting Bezier segments that being the approximation of input polycurve inCurve. The maxDistance parameter defines the maximum distance between the vertices of the input curve to the generated curve. If maxDistance is zero then for each segment of inCurve there is one Bezier segment created for this geometry. The parameter smoothClosedParts defines whether or not the last segment of the input polyline curve which is closed should be smoothed with the first segment of the curve. The smoothClosedParts parameter is only used if both this geometry and inCurve are polylines. If this geometry or inCurve is a polygon then smoothClosedParts is overwritten and set to true.

The resulting geometry is a polygon or polyline depending on the type of "this geometry" rather than the type of inCurve. If "this geometry" is a polygon and inCurve is a polyline with any open path, an error is returned (result is an empty polygon).
