ArcGIS Pro 3.2 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace / GeometryEngine Class / Clip Method
The geometry to be clipped by the given envelope.
A geometry that represents the area clipped by envelope.
Example

In This Topic
    Clip Method (GeometryEngine)
    In This Topic
    Constructs the polygon created by clipping geometry by envelope.
    Syntax
    Public Function Clip( _
       ByVal geometry As Geometry, _
       ByVal envelope As Envelope _
    ) As Geometry

    Parameters

    geometry
    The geometry to be clipped by the given envelope.
    envelope
    A geometry that represents the area clipped by envelope.

    Return Value

    The clipped geometry.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    Either geometry or envelope or both are null or empty.
    The method is not implemented for GeometryBag.
    Incompatible spatial references between the input geometries.
    Remarks
    If the input geometry is a multipatch, then the multipatch is projected to the 2D-plane. The output geometry will be a polygon.

    GeometryEngine Clip

    Example
    Clip a Polyline
    // clip a polyline by an envelope
    
    Envelope env = EnvelopeBuilderEx.CreateEnvelope(2.0, 2.0, 4.0, 4.0);
    LineSegment line = LineBuilderEx.CreateLineSegment(new Coordinate2D(0, 3), new Coordinate2D(5.0, 3.0));
    Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(line);
    
    Geometry clipGeom = GeometryEngine.Instance.Clip(polyline, env);
    Clip a Polyline by a Polygon
    // clip a polyline by a polygon
    
    List<Coordinate2D> list = new List<Coordinate2D>();
    list.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.0, 1.0));
    list.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.0, 4.0));
    list.Add(new Coordinate2D(4.0, 4.0));
    list.Add(new Coordinate2D(4.0, 1.0));
    
    Polygon polygon = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(list, SpatialReferences.WGS84);
    
    LineSegment crossingLine = LineBuilderEx.CreateLineSegment(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(0, 3), MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(5.0, 3.0));
    Polyline p = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(crossingLine);
    Geometry geometry = GeometryEngine.Instance.Clip(p, polygon.Extent);
