Crosses Method—ArcGIS Pro

Returns true if geometry1 crosses geometry2.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public bool Crosses( 
   Geometry geometry1,
   Geometry geometry2
)

Public Function Crosses( _
   ByVal geometry1 As Geometry, _
   ByVal geometry2 As Geometry _
) As Boolean

Parameters

geometry1: The base geometry.
geometry2: The comparison geometry.

Return Value

True if the geometry1 crosses geometry2.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Either geometry1 or geometry2 or both are null or empty.
System.NotImplementedException	The method is not implemented for GeometryBag.
System.InvalidOperationException	Incompatible spatial references between the input geometries.

Remarks

A polyline crosses another polyline if they share only points in common, at least one of which is not an endpoint. A polyline crosses a polygon if at least one path of the polyline is partly inside the polygon and partly outside.

Example

//
// pt on pt
//

MapPoint pt = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0);
MapPoint pt2 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 2.0);

bool crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(pt, pt2);         // crosses = false
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(pt, pt);               // crosses = false

// 
// pt and line
// 

List<MapPoint> list = new List<MapPoint>();
list.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0));
list.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(3.0, 3.0));
list.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(5.0, 1.0));

Polyline line1 = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(list);
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(line1, pt2);           // crosses = false
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(pt2, line1);           // crosses = false
                                                                  // end pt of line
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(line1, pt);            // crosses = false

//
// pt and polygon
//
List<MapPoint> polyPts = new List<MapPoint>();
polyPts.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(3.0, 2.0));
polyPts.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(3.0, 6.0));
polyPts.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(6.0, 6.0));
polyPts.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(6.0, 2.0));

Polygon poly1 = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(polyPts);
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(poly1, pt);              // crosses = false
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(pt, poly1);              // crosses = false

// 
// line and line
//
List<MapPoint> list2 = new List<MapPoint>();
list2.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 3.0));
list2.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(3.0, 1.0));
list2.Add(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(5.0, 3.0));

Polyline line2 = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(list2);
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(line1, line2);           // crosses = true

//
// line and polygon
//
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(poly1, line1);           // crosses = true

//
// polygon and polygon
//
Envelope env = EnvelopeBuilder.CreateEnvelope(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0), MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(4, 4));
Polygon poly2 = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(env);
crosses = GeometryEngine.Instance.Crosses(poly1, poly2);           // crosses = false
