ArcGIS Pro 3.0 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace / PolylineBuilderEx Class / PolylineBuilderEx Constructor / PolylineBuilderEx Constructor(IEnumerable<MapPoint>,AttributeFlags,SpatialReference)
Points for the first ring. Line segments are created from the points.
AttributeFlags to set the HasZ, HasM and HasID attributes. If no attributes should be set, pass AttributeFlags.None. If all attributes should be set, pass AttributeFlags.AllAttributes. Use the bitwise OR operator to set two attributes. For example, to set HasZ = true and HasM = true, pass AttributeFlags.HasZ | AttributeFlags.HasM.
(Optional) The SpatialReference. The default value is null. The spatial reference of each point is ignored.
Example

PolylineBuilderEx Constructor(IEnumerable<MapPoint>,AttributeFlags,SpatialReference)
Creates a new instance of the PolylineBuilderEx class.
Syntax

Parameters

points
Points for the first ring. Line segments are created from the points.
attributes
AttributeFlags to set the HasZ, HasM and HasID attributes. If no attributes should be set, pass AttributeFlags.None. If all attributes should be set, pass AttributeFlags.AllAttributes. Use the bitwise OR operator to set two attributes. For example, to set HasZ = true and HasM = true, pass AttributeFlags.HasZ | AttributeFlags.HasM.
spatialReference
(Optional) The SpatialReference. The default value is null. The spatial reference of each point is ignored.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
The input mapPoint enumeration is null.
