InsertGeometry Method

Inserts the given geometry before the specified index. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public void InsertGeometry( 
   int index,
   Geometry geometry
)

Public Sub InsertGeometry( _
   ByVal index As Integer, _
   ByVal geometry As Geometry _
)

Parameters

index: 0 based index. Specify 0 to insert at the beginning. Specify CountGeometries or -1 to insert at the end.
geometry: The geometry to insert.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.ArgumentNullException	geometry is null.
System.ArgumentException	geometry is GeometryBag. You cannot insert a GeometryBag into another GeometryBag.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	index must be less than the number of geometries in the builder or equal to -1.

Remarks

Specifying -1 for the index is equivalent to AddGeometry.

An Envelope is converted to a Polygon when it is inserted into a GeometryBag. As a result, when retrieving an Envelope from a GeometryBag, it will be a Polygon.

Example

// Builder constructors need to run on the MCT.
ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  using (GeometryBagBuilder builder = new GeometryBagBuilder(SpatialReferences.WGS84))
  {
    GeometryBag emptyBag = builder.ToGeometry();
    // emptyBag.IsEmpty = true

    MapPoint point = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1, 2, SpatialReferences.WebMercator);
    builder.AddGeometry(point);
    // builder.CountGeometries = 1

    GeometryBag geometryBag = builder.ToGeometry();
    // geometryBag.PartCount = 1
    // geometryBag.PointCount = 1
    // geometryBag.IsEmpty = false

    IReadOnlyList<Geometry> geometries = geometryBag.Geometries;
    // geometries.Count = 1
    // geometries[0] is MapPoint with a sr of WGS84

    bool isEqual = geometryBag.IsEqual(emptyBag);   // isEqual = false

    List<Coordinate2D> coords2D = new List<Coordinate2D>()
    {
    new Coordinate2D(0, 0),
    new Coordinate2D(0, 1),
    new Coordinate2D(1, 1),
    new Coordinate2D(1, 0)
    };

    Multipoint multipoint = MultipointBuilder.CreateMultipoint(coords2D, SpatialReferences.WGS84);
    builder.InsertGeometry(0, multipoint);
    geometryBag = builder.ToGeometry();
    // geometryBag.PartCount = 2

    geometries = geometryBag.Geometries;
    // geometries.Count = 2
    // geometries[0] is Multipoint
    // geometries[1] is MapPoint

    Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(coords2D, SpatialReferences.WebMercator);
    builder.AddGeometry(polyline);
    builder.RemoveGeometry(1);
    geometryBag = builder.ToGeometry();
    // geometryBag.PartCount = 2

    geometries = geometryBag.Geometries;
    // geometries.Count = 2
    // geometries[0] is Multipoint
    // geometries[1] is Polyline          
  }
});
