Multipoint (arcpy)

Resumen

Multipoint objects are ordered collection of points.

Debate

En muchos flujos de trabajo de geoprocesamiento, puede que necesite ejecutar una operación concreta utilizando información de coordenadas y geometría, pero que no necesariamente desee pasar por el proceso de crear una nueva clase de entidad (temporal), llenar la clase de entidad con cursores, utilizar la clase de entidad y, a continuación, eliminar la clase de entidad temporal. En su lugar, puede utilizar objetos de geometría tanto para la entrada como para la salida, para simplificar el geoprocesamiento. Los objetos de geometría se pueden crear utilizando clases Geometry, Multipoint, PointGeometry, Polygon o Polyline .

Descripción general de los métodos

MétodoExplicación
boundary ()

Constructs the boundary of the geometry.

Boundary operator
buffer (distance)

Constructs a polygon at a specified distance from the geometry.

Buffer operator
clip (envelope)

Constructs the intersection of the geometry and the specified extent.

Clip operator
contains (second_geometry)

Indicates if the base geometry contains the comparison geometry.

contains is the opposite of within.

Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

Possible contains relationships
convexHull ()

Constructs the geometry that is the minimal bounding polygon such that all outer angles are convex.

ConvexHull operator
crosses (second_geometry)

Indicates if the two geometries intersect in a geometry of a lesser shape type.

Two polylines cross if they share only points in common, at least one of which is not an endpoint. A polyline and an polygon cross if they share a polyline or a point (for vertical line) in common on the interior of the polygon which is not equivalent to the entire polyline.

Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

Possible crosses relationships
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.

Difference operator
disjoint (second_geometry)

Indicates if the base and comparison geometries share no points in common.

Two geometries intersect if disjoint returns False.

Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

Possible disjoint relationships
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.

Possible equals relationships
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.

Intersect operator

For faster results, test if the two geometries are disjoint before calling intersect.

overlaps (second_geometry)

Indicates if the intersection of the two geometries has the same shape type as one of the input geometries and is not equivalent to either of the input geometries.

Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

Possible overlaps relationships
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.

symmetricDifference operator
touches (second_geometry)

Indicates if the boundaries of the geometries intersect.

Two geometries touch when the intersection of the geometries is not empty, but the intersection of their interiors is empty. For example, a point touches a polyline only if the point is coincident with one of the polyline end points.

Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

Possible touches relationships
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.

Union operator
within (second_geometry)

Indicates if the base geometry is within the comparison geometry.

within is the opposite operator of contains.

Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.

Possible within relationships

getArea (type)
ParámetroExplicaciónTipo de datos
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.

  • GEODESICThe 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_ELLIPTICThe 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.
  • LOXODROMEA 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.
  • PLANARPlanar 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_SHAPEThis 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.
