GeodesicArea Method—ArcGIS Pro

Gets the geodesic area of a geometry.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public double GeodesicArea( 
   Geometry geometry
)

Public Function GeodesicArea( _
   ByVal geometry As Geometry _
) As Double

Parameters

geometry: The intput geometry.

Return Value

The calculated geodesic area in square meters. If the geometry is empty, then zero is returned.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Geometry is null.
System.NotImplementedException	The method is not implemented for GeometryBag or Multipatch.
System.NotImplementedException	Spatial reference of geometryis an image coordinate system.

Example

var polygon = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(new[]
{
  MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(-10018754.1713946, 10018754.1713946),
  MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(10018754.1713946, 10018754.1713946),
  MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(10018754.1713946, -10018754.1713946),
  MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(-10018754.1713946, -10018754.1713946)
}, SpatialReferences.WebMercator);
var area = GeometryEngine.Instance.GeodesicArea(polygon);
