Union(Geometry,Geometry) Method

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public Geometry Union( 
   Geometry geometry1,
   Geometry geometry2
)

Public Overloads Function Union( _
   ByVal geometry1 As Geometry, _
   ByVal geometry2 As Geometry _
) As Geometry

Parameters

geometry1: The first geometry to union with.
geometry2: The second geometry to union with.

Return Value

A geometry representing the union of the input geometries.

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.
InvalidParameterException	Input geometries do not have the same dimension.
GeometryObjectException	The operation cannot be performed on a non-simple geometry.
System.NotImplementedException	Spatial reference of geometry1or geometry2is an image coordinate system.

GeometryEngine Union

C#

MapPoint pt1 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0);
MapPoint pt2 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 2.5);

Geometry geometry = GeometryEngine.Instance.Union(pt1, pt2);
Multipoint multipoint = geometry as Multipoint;   // multipoint has point count of 2

C#

// union two polygons

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);
bool isSimple = GeometryEngine.Instance.IsSimpleAsFeature(poly1);

Envelope env = EnvelopeBuilder.CreateEnvelope(MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(4.0, 4.0), MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(8, 8));
Polygon poly2 = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(env);
isSimple = GeometryEngine.Instance.IsSimpleAsFeature(poly2);

Geometry g = GeometryEngine.Instance.Union(poly1, poly2);
Polygon polyResult = g as Polygon;
