ArcGIS Pro 3.0 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace / IGeometryEngine Interface / Length Method
The input geometry.
Example

In This Topic
    Length Method (IGeometryEngine)
    In This Topic
    Gets the length for a specified geometry. This is a planar measurement using 2D Cartesian mathematics.
    Syntax
    Function Length( _
       ByVal geometry As Geometry _
    ) As Double

    Parameters

    geometry
    The input geometry.

    Return Value

    The calculated length in the same units as the geometry's spatial reference unit. If the geometry is empty, then zero is returned.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    Geometry is null.
    The method is not implemented for GeometryBag or Multipatch.
    Example
    Determine Length, Length3D of line
    MapPoint c1 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1, 2, 3);
    MapPoint c2 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(4, 2, 4);
    
    // line segment
    LineSegment line = LineBuilderEx.CreateLineSegment(c1, c2);
    double len = line.Length;     // = 3
    double len3D = line.Length3D;   // = Math.Sqrt(10)
    
    // polyline
    Polyline p = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(line);
    double p_len = p.Length;        // = len = 3
    double p_len3D = p.Length3D;    // = len3D = Math.Sqrt(10)
    
    double ge_len = GeometryEngine.Instance.Length(p);      // = p_len = len = 3
    double ge_len3d = GeometryEngine.Instance.Length3D(p);    // = p_len3D = len3D = Math.Sqrt(10)
