MultipartToSinglePart Method

Separates the components of a geometry into single component geometries.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

IReadOnlyList<Geometry> MultipartToSinglePart( 
   Geometry geometry
)

Function MultipartToSinglePart( _
   ByVal geometry As Geometry _
) As IReadOnlyList(Of Geometry)

Parameters

geometry: The geometry to make into single component geometries

Return Value

Read-only list of geometries

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.NotImplementedException	Not implemented for Multipatch.
System.NotImplementedException	Spatial reference of geometryis an image coordinate system.

Remarks

A single part geometry will not be affected (i.e. it will just get passed along) with the exception of a multipoint which will become points. The number of output geometries may not equal the number of parts in the input geometry. For example, if a polygon has a hole, then the outer ring and inner ring are returned as one geometry.

Example

List<Coordinate2D> coords2D = new List<Coordinate2D>()
  {
    new Coordinate2D(0, 0),
    new Coordinate2D(1, 4),
    new Coordinate2D(2, 7),
    new Coordinate2D(-10, 3)
  };

Multipoint multipoint = MultipointBuilder.CreateMultipoint(coords2D, SpatialReferences.WGS84);

IReadOnlyList<Geometry> result = GeometryEngine.Instance.MultipartToSinglePart(multipoint);
// result.Count = 4, 


// 'explode' a multipart polygon
result = GeometryEngine.Instance.MultipartToSinglePart(multipartPolygon);


// create a bag of geometries
Polygon polygon = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(coords2D, SpatialReferences.WGS84);
GeometryBag bag = GeometryBagBuilder.CreateGeometryBag(new List<Geometry>() { multipoint, polygon });
// bag.PartCount = 2

result = GeometryEngine.Instance.MultipartToSinglePart(bag);
// result.Count = 2
// result[0] is MultiPoint
// result[1] is Polygon

Target Platforms: Windows 10, Windows 8.1
