	AreaUnit	Represent an area unit of measure.
	BasicMaterial	A Material class describing basic graphic properties.
	CompositeGeographicTransformation	A composite geographic transformation class is an ordered list of GeographicTransformation classes. The geographic transformations are applied in the order they are stored.
	CompositeHVDatumTransformation	A composite hv (horizontal/vertical) datum transformation class is an ordered list of HVDatumTransformation classes. The hv datum transformations are applied in the order they are stored.
	CoordinateSystemListEntry	Provides the well-known ID (WKID), name and category (or region) of a particular coordinate system.
	CubicBezierBuilderEx	A builder for creating a CubicBezierSegment whose methods can be called on any thread.
	CubicBezierSegment	Represents a third degree cubic Bezier curve for use in a Multipart geometry. To create a cubic bezier segment use the CubicBezierBuilderEx object.
	Datum	Describes the horizontal datum of a geographic coordinate system. It is returned from SpatialReference.Datum.
	DatumTransformation	An abstract class for datum transformations. Currently, a datum transformation can be a GeographicTransformation, a CompositeGeographicTransformation, a HVDatumTransformation or a CompositeHVDatumTransformation.
	EllipticArcBuilderEx	A builder for creating an EllipticArcSegment whose methods can be called on any thread.
	EllipticArcSegment	Represents an elliptic arc segment for use in a Multipart geometry. To create an elliptic arc segment use the EllipticArcBuilderEx object.
	Envelope	An envelope is an axis-aligned box described by the coordinates of the lower left corner and the coordinates of the upper right corner. To create an envelope use the EnvelopeBuilderEx object.
	EnvelopeBuilderEx	A builder for creating an Envelope whose methods can be called on any thread.
	GeodesicEllipseParameter	Options for creating a geodesic ellipse with the GeometryEngine.GeodesicEllipse function.
	GeodesicSectorParameter	Options for creating a geodesic ellipse with the GeometryEngine.GeodesicSector function.
	GeographicTransformation	A geographic transformation is used when projecting geometries between two different geographic coordinate systems. A geographic transformation converts everything that needs to be changed including the units, prime meridian, and the ellipsoid. Every transformation is defined in a particular forward direction, say from GCS A to GCS B, but all are reversible. For example, a geographic transformation may be defined to convert from NAD27 to WGS84. If you are projecting from WGS84 to NAD27, you can use the reversed form of the transformation.
	GeographicTransformationListEntry	Provides the name, well-known ID (WKID), and WKIDs of the spatial references from which and to which the data will be projected.
	Geometry	An abstract base class for objects that define geometric shapes. Geometry objects can be used as geometry definitions for rendering data.
	GeometryBag	A class representing a GeometryBag. To create a geometry bag use the GeometryBagBuilderEx object.
	GeometryBagBuilderEx	Builder for creating a GeometryBag.
	GeometryBuilderEx	An abstract base class for geometry builders.

	GridUnit	Represents a grid unit for a geographic location.
	HVDatumTransformation	A hv (horizontal/vertical) datum transformation is used when projecting Z-Aware geometries between two different geographic coordinate systems and two different vertical coordinate systems. As with geographic transformations, a hv datum transformation converts everything that needs to be changed including the units, prime meridian, and the ellipsoid. In addition, a hv datum transformation transforms height. Every transformation is defined in a particular forward direction, but all are reversible. For example, suppose your Z-Aware geometry is in WGS84 with vertical coordinate system EGM2008_Geoid, and you want to project to NAD83_2011 with vertical coordinate system NAD83_2011. A hv datum transformation is defined to project your Z-Aware geometry from WGS84 with vertical coordinate system EGM2008_Geoid to NAD83_2011 with vertical coordinate system NAD83_2011. If you are projecting from NAD83_2011 with vertical coordinate system NAD83_2011 to WGS84 with vertical coordinate system EGM2008_Geoid to NAD83_2011, you can use the reversed form of the transformation.
