GetSubCurve3D Method

Gets the 3D subcurve of the input multipart between fromDistance and toDistance.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

Polyline GetSubCurve3D( 
   Multipart multipart,
   double fromDistance,
   double toDistance,
   AsRatioOrLength asRatioOrLength
)

Function GetSubCurve3D( _
   ByVal multipart As Multipart, _
   ByVal fromDistance As Double, _
   ByVal toDistance As Double, _
   ByVal asRatioOrLength As AsRatioOrLength _
) As Polyline

Parameters

multipart: The 3D multipart from which the subcurve will be extracted.
fromDistance: The distance along the multipart to start the subcurve.
toDistance: The distance along the multipart to end the subcurve.
asRatioOrLength: Indicates whether the fromDistance and toDistance are given as lengths or ratios along the multipart.

Return Value

The 3D polyline representing the subcurve.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Multipart is null or empty.
System.InvalidOperationException	This geometry is not Z-Aware.
OperationException	Cannot do 3D operations on curve segments.

Example

SpatialReference sr = SpatialReferences.WGS84;

List<Coordinate2D> coords = new List<Coordinate2D>()
{
  new Coordinate2D(-111, 72),
  new Coordinate2D(-108, 68),
  new Coordinate2D(-114, 68)
};

Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(coords, sr);

Polyline subCurve = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetSubCurve(polyline, 0, 5, AsRatioOrLength.AsLength);
// subCurve.PartCount = 1
// subCurve.PointCount = 2

ReadOnlyPointCollection points = subCurve.Points;
// points[0] = -111, 72
// points[1] = -108, 68

subCurve = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetSubCurve(polyline, 0, 0.5, AsRatioOrLength.AsRatio);
// subCurve.PointCount = 3

points = subCurve.Points;
// points[0] = -111, 72
// points[1] = -108, 68
// points[2] = -108.5, 68


List<Coordinate3D> coords3D = new List<Coordinate3D>()
{
  new Coordinate3D(0, 0, 0),
  new Coordinate3D(0, 1, 1),
  new Coordinate3D(1, 1, 2),
  new Coordinate3D(1, 0, 3)
};

Polygon polygon = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(coords3D, sr);

subCurve = GeometryEngine.Instance.GetSubCurve3D(polygon, 0, 1, AsRatioOrLength.AsLength);
// subCurve.HasZ = true

points = subCurve.Points;
// points.Count = 2
// points[0] = 0, 0, 0
// points[1] = 0, 0.70710678118654746, 0.70710678118654746
