InsertMAtDistance Method

Sets the M value at the given distance along the multipart.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public Multipart InsertMAtDistance( 
   Multipart multipart,
   double m,
   double distance,
   AsRatioOrLength asRatioOrLength,
   bool createNewPart,
   out bool splitHappened,
   out int partIndex,
   out int segmentIndex
)

Public Function InsertMAtDistance( _
   ByVal multipart As Multipart, _
   ByVal m As Double, _
   ByVal distance As Double, _
   ByVal asRatioOrLength As AsRatioOrLength, _
   ByVal createNewPart As Boolean, _
   ByRef splitHappened As Boolean, _
   ByRef partIndex As Integer, _
   ByRef segmentIndex As Integer _
) As Multipart

Parameters

multipart: The multipart in which to set the M value.
m: The M value to set.
distance: The distance along the multipart at which to set the M value. If no point exists at the given distance, a new point is created with interpolated X and Y values.
asRatioOrLength: Indicates whether the distance is interpreted as length or as a ratio along the multipart.
createNewPart: Indicates whether to create a new part at the split point (the point whose M value is set) or not.
splitHappened: Indicates if a split happened at the split point. No split happens if createNewPart is false and the split point is at an existing vertex, or if createNewPart is true and a split part would be empty.
partIndex: The index of the part that was modified. If createNewPart is true, partIndex refers to the added part and segmentIndex will be 0.
segmentIndex: The index of the segment that was modified. The segment index is relative to the modified part.

Return Value

A multipart with the M value set.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	The input multipart is null.
System.InvalidOperationException	The input multipart is not M-aware.

Example

string json = "{\"hasM\":true,\"paths\":[[[-3000,-2000,-3],[-2000,-2000,-2],[-1000,-2000,null]]]}";
Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilder.FromJson(json);
bool splitHappened;
int partIndex, segmentIndex;

// A point already exists at the given distance
double m = -1;
double distance = 2000;
bool createNewPart = false;
Polyline outputPolyline = GeometryEngine.Instance.InsertMAtDistance(polyline, m, distance, AsRatioOrLength.AsLength, createNewPart, out splitHappened, out partIndex, out segmentIndex) as Polyline;

// splitHappened = false, partIndex = 0, segmentIndex = 2
// outputPolyline.Points[2].M = -1

json = "{\"hasM\":true,\"paths\":[[[-3000,-2000,-3],[-2000,-2000,-2],[-1000,-2000,-1]],[[0,0,0],[0,1000,0],[0,2000,2]]],\"spatialReference\":{\"wkid\":3857}}";
polyline = PolylineBuilder.FromJson(json);

// A point already exists at the given distance, but createNewPart = true
m = 1;
distance = 3000;
createNewPart = true;
outputPolyline = GeometryEngine.Instance.InsertMAtDistance(polyline, m, distance, AsRatioOrLength.AsLength, createNewPart, out splitHappened, out partIndex, out segmentIndex) as Polyline;
string outputJson = outputPolyline.ToJson();

// splitHappened = true, partIndex = 2, segmentIndex = 0
// outputJson = {"hasM":true,"paths":[[[-3000,-2000,-3],[-2000,-2000,-2],[-1000,-2000,-1]],[[0,0,0],[0,1000,1]],[[0,1000,1],[0,2000,2]]]}}
// A new part has been created and the M values for outputPolyline.Points[4] and outputPolyline.Points[5] have been modified

// A point does not exist at the given distance
m = 1;
distance = 3500;
createNewPart = false;
outputPolyline = GeometryEngine.Instance.InsertMAtDistance(polyline, m, distance, AsRatioOrLength.AsLength, createNewPart, out splitHappened, out partIndex, out segmentIndex) as Polyline;
outputJson = outputPolyline.ToJson();

// splitHappened = true even though createNewPart = false because a new point was created
// partIndex = 1, segmentIndex = 2
// outputJson = {"hasM":true,"paths":[[[-3000,-2000,-3],[-2000,-2000,-2],[-1000,-2000,-1]],[[0,0,0],[0,1000,0],[0,1500,1],[0,2000,2]]]}
// A new point has been inserted (0, 1500, 1) by interpolating the X and Y coordinates and M value set to the input M value.
