Introduces a new vertex into the multipart at a specified distance from the beginning of the multipart.
For a split to happen, the split distance must be between the start and end points of the multipart.
Parameters
- distance
- The distance from the start point of the multipart to insert the vertex.
- asRatio
- True to treat the distance as a ratio (or %) of the multipart length.
- createPart
- (Optional) Specifies whether a new part is to be created when the part is split. For polygons, it
is always set to false. The default value is false.
Return Value
The absolute index of the segment that was split. It is not relative to the part.
If the split didn't happen, -1 is returned.
Split Polyline at distance
// create list of points
MapPoint startPt = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0);
MapPoint endPt = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 1.0);
List<MapPoint> list = new List<MapPoint>() { startPt, endPt };
// BuilderEx constructors don't need to run on the MCT.
// use the PolylineBuilder as we wish to manipulate the geometry
// use AttributeFlags.None as we have 2D points
PolylineBuilderEx polylineBuilder = new PolylineBuilderEx(list, AttributeFlags.None);
// split at a distance 0.75
polylineBuilder.SplitAtDistance(0.75, false);
// get the polyline
Polyline polyline = polylineBuilder.ToGeometry();
// polyline should have 3 points (1,1), (1.75, 1), (2,1)
// add another path
MapPoint p1 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(4.0, 1.0);
MapPoint p2 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(6.0, 1.0);
MapPoint p3 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(7.0, 1.0);
List<MapPoint> pts = new List<MapPoint>() { p1, p2, p3 };
polylineBuilder.AddPart(pts);
polyline = polylineBuilder.ToGeometry();
// polyline has 2 parts. Each part has 3 points
// split the 2nd path half way - don't create a new path
polylineBuilder.SplitPartAtDistance(1, 0.5, true, false);
polyline = polylineBuilder.ToGeometry();
// polyline still has 2 parts; but now has 7 points
