AttributeFlags Enumeration

In This Topic

Flags used when creating a geometry in some GeometryBuilderEx methods specifying which attributes, Z, M, and ID, the newly created geometry should have. Use bitwise OR to specify more than one attribute. For example, to specify that the geometry should have Z and M-values, specify AttributeFlags.HasZ | AttributeFlags.HasM.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public enum AttributeFlags : System.Enum, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

Public Enum AttributeFlags 
   Inherits System.Enum
   Implements System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

Members

Member	Description
AllAttributes	Specifies that the geometry has Z, M and ID-values.
HasID	Specifies that the geometry has ID-values.
HasM	Specified that the geometry has M-values.
HasZ	Specifies that the geometry has Z-values.
None	Specifies that the geometry has no attributes. It does not have Z, M or ID-values.

Construct a Polyline - from an enumeration of MapPoints

// Use a builderEx convenience method or a builderEx constructor.
// neither need to run on the MCT

MapPoint startPt = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0);
MapPoint endPt = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 1.0);

List<MapPoint> list = new List<MapPoint>() { startPt, endPt };

Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(list, SpatialReferences.WGS84);

// use AttributeFlags.None since we only have 2D points in the list
PolylineBuilderEx pb = new PolylineBuilderEx(list, AttributeFlags.None);
pb.SpatialReference = SpatialReferences.WGS84;
Polyline polyline2 = pb.ToGeometry();

// Use AttributeFlags.NoAttributes because we only have 2d points in the list
Polyline polyline4 = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(list, AttributeFlags.None);

Build a multi-part Polyline

List<MapPoint> firstPoints = new List<MapPoint>();
firstPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0));
firstPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 2.0));
firstPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 2.0));
firstPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 1.0));

List<MapPoint> nextPoints = new List<MapPoint>();
nextPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(11.0, 1.0));
nextPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(11.0, 2.0));
nextPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(12.0, 2.0));
nextPoints.Add(MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(12.0, 1.0));

// use AttributeFlags.None since we have 2D points in the list
PolylineBuilderEx pBuilder = new PolylineBuilderEx(firstPoints, AttributeFlags.None);
pBuilder.AddPart(nextPoints);

Polyline polyline = pBuilder.ToGeometry();
// polyline has 2 parts

pBuilder.RemovePart(0);
polyline = pBuilder.ToGeometry();
// polyline has 1 part
