ArcGIS Pro 3.1 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace / IGeometryEngine Interface / ConstructGeodeticLineFromPoints Method
The type of geodetic curve to be created.
The from point.
The to point.
The linear unit of the densifyParameter if the densifyMode is DensifyByLength. If this is null, the units are assumed to be meters.
The densification mode.
The densification parameter.
Example

In This Topic
    ConstructGeodeticLineFromPoints Method (IGeometryEngine)
    In This Topic
    Constructs a geodetic line connecting the specified points.
    Syntax

    Parameters

    curveType
    The type of geodetic curve to be created.
    fromPoint
    The from point.
    toPoint
    The to point.
    linearUnit
    The linear unit of the densifyParameter if the densifyMode is DensifyByLength. If this is null, the units are assumed to be meters.
    densifyMode
    The densification mode.
    densifyParameter
    The densification parameter.

    Return Value

    Returns the created geodetic line.
    Exceptions
    Remarks
    If the densifyMode is DensifyByLength, then the densifyParameter specifies the maximum segment length.

    If the densifyMode is DensifyByDeviation, then it is the maximum distance from the true geodetic line to the densified output.

    Example
    Construct a geodetic line connecting points
    var sr = SpatialReferenceBuilder.CreateSpatialReference(4326);
    
    var pt1 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(60, 180, sr);
    var pt2 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(60, 0, sr);
    
    // densify by length
    var gl = GeometryEngine.Instance.ConstructGeodeticLineFromPoints(GeodeticCurveType.Geodesic, pt1, pt2, null, CurveDensifyMethod.ByLength, -3.356);
    
    // densify by deviation
    gl = GeometryEngine.Instance.ConstructGeodeticLineFromPoints(GeodeticCurveType.Geodesic, pt1, pt2, null, CurveDensifyMethod.ByDeviation, -0.0026);
