FilterGeometry Property (LasPointFilter)

In This Topic

Gets and sets a geometry filter. It may be set to an ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.Envelope or a ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.Polygon. Default value is null.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public Geometry FilterGeometry {get; set;}

Public Property FilterGeometry As Geometry

Remarks

If no geometry is specified, then all points are considered for inclusion by the filter. Otherwise only points inside the geometry are considered for inclusion by the filter. If specified, this will be projected into the spatial reference of the LAS dataset. The Z range, if set, is ignored.

Example

Search LAS Points

// search all points
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointCursor ptCursor = lasDataset.SearchPoints(null))
{
  while (ptCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPoint point = ptCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointFilter pointFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointFilter();
pointFilter.FilterGeometry = envelope;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointCursor ptCursor = lasDataset.SearchPoints(pointFilter))
{
  while (ptCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPoint point = ptCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent and limited to specific classsification codes
pointFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointFilter();
pointFilter.FilterGeometry = envelope;
pointFilter.ClassCodes = new List<int> { 4, 5 };
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointCursor ptCursor = lasDataset.SearchPoints(pointFilter))
{
  while (ptCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPoint point = ptCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}
//

Search for LAS Points

// searching on the LasDatasetLayer will honor any LasPointDisplayFilter

// search all points
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointCursor ptCursor = lasDatasetLayer.SearchPoints(null))
{
  while (ptCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPoint point = ptCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointFilter pointFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointFilter();
pointFilter.FilterGeometry = envelope;
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointCursor ptCursor = lasDatasetLayer.SearchPoints(pointFilter))
{
  while (ptCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPoint point = ptCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}

// search within an extent and limited to specific classsification codes
pointFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointFilter();
pointFilter.FilterGeometry = envelope;
pointFilter.ClassCodes = new List<int> { 4, 5 };
using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPointCursor ptCursor = lasDatasetLayer.SearchPoints(pointFilter))
{
  while (ptCursor.MoveNext())
  {
    using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasPoint point = ptCursor.Current)
    {

    }
  }
}
