Reshape Method (IGeometryEngine)

In This Topic

Reshapes a polygon or polyline with a single path polyline.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

Multipart Reshape( 
   Multipart multipart,
   Polyline reshaper
)

Function Reshape( _
   ByVal multipart As Multipart, _
   ByVal reshaper As Polyline _
) As Multipart

Parameters

multipart: The geometry to be reshaped.
reshaper: The reshaper.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Either multipartor reshaperor both are null.
System.InvalidOperationException	Incompatible spatial references between the input geometries.
System.ArgumentException	The reshaper polyline must have exactly one part.

Remarks

The output geometry takes the shape of the input multipart where it first intersects the reshaper to the last intersection. The first and last intersection points of the reshaper are chosen closest to the end points of the reshaper in the case that multiple intersections are found. The output geometry may not be simple. If the geometry cannot be reshaped by the input reshaper, then null will be returned.

Example

Reshape a polygon

List<Coordinate2D> polygon1Coords = new List<Coordinate2D>()
{
  new Coordinate2D(0, -11000),
  new Coordinate2D(1000, -11000),
  new Coordinate2D(1000, -12000),
  new Coordinate2D(0, -12000),
  new Coordinate2D(0, -11000)
};

// reshaper coordinates intersect the polygon
List<Coordinate2D> reshaperCoords = new List<Coordinate2D>()
{
  new Coordinate2D(1500, -11800),
  new Coordinate2D(-2600, -11800)
};

SpatialReference sr = SpatialReferenceBuilder.CreateSpatialReference(102010);
Polygon polygon1 = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(polygon1Coords, sr);
Polyline reshaper = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(reshaperCoords, sr);

Polygon outPolygon = GeometryEngine.Instance.Reshape(polygon1, reshaper) as Polygon;
// outPolygon.PartCount = 1

ReadOnlySegmentCollection segments = outPolygon.Parts[0];
// segments.Count = 4
// outPolygon.PointCount = 5

string json = GeometryEngine.Instance.ExportToJson(JsonExportFlags.JsonExportSkipCRS, outPolygon);
// json = "{\"rings\":[[[0,-11800],[0,-11000],[1000,-11000],[1000,-11800],[0,-11800]]]}";


// example where the Reshaper polyline doesn't intersect the input

reshaperCoords.Clear();
reshaperCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1000, 1000));
reshaperCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2000, 1000));

reshaper = PolylineBuilderEx.CreatePolyline(reshaperCoords, sr);

outPolygon = GeometryEngine.Instance.Reshape(polygon1, reshaper) as Polygon;
// outPolygon = null
