CreatePolygon(Polyline,SpatialReference) Method

In This Topic

Convenience method to create a new instance of the Polygon class.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public static Polygon CreatePolygon( 
   Polyline polyline,
   SpatialReference spatialReference
)

Public Overloads Shared Function CreatePolygon( _
   ByVal polyline As Polyline, _
   Optional ByVal spatialReference As SpatialReference _
) As Polygon

Parameters

polyline: The polyline to create the polygon.
spatialReference: (Optional) The SpatialReference. The default value is null. If spatialReference is null, then the spatial reference will be inherited from polyline.

Return Value

A Polygon.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	polyline is null.

Remarks

HasZ, HasM and HasID attributes are inherited from the input polyline.

Example

Create_polygon_poly

//Create a polygon graphic with simple line and fill styles.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  List<Coordinate2D> plyCoords = new List<Coordinate2D>();
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 7));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2, 7));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2, 6.7));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 6.7));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 6.1));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 6.1));
  //At 2.x - Polygon poly = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);
  Polygon poly = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMStroke outline = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(ColorFactory.Instance.BlueRGB, 2.0, SimpleLineStyle.DashDotDot);
  CIMPolygonSymbol polySym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.ForwardDiagonal, outline);
  //At 2.x - GraphicElement polyElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreatePolygonGraphicElement(layout, poly, polySym);
  //         polyElm.SetName("New Polygon"); 
  GraphicElement polyElm = ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(layout, poly, polySym, "New Polygon");
});

Create_lasso

//Create a graphic lasso element with simple line and fill styles.

//Construct on the worker thread
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //Build geometry
  List<Coordinate2D> plyCoords = new List<Coordinate2D>();
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 1));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.25, 2));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.5, 1.1));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.75, 2));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2, 1.1));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2.25, 2));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2.5, 1.1));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2.75, 2));
  plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 1));
  //At 2.x - Polygon poly = PolygonBuilder.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);
  Polygon poly = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);

  //Set symbolology, create and add element to layout
  CIMStroke outline = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 2.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid);
  CIMPolygonSymbol polySym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.ForwardDiagonal, outline);
  //At 2.x - GraphicElement polyElm = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreatePolygonGraphicElement(layout, poly, polySym);
  //         polyElm.SetName("New Lasso"); 
  GraphicElement polyElm = ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(layout, poly, polySym, "New Lasso");
});

Create Lasso Polygon, Freehand Element

//Must be on QueuedTask.Run(() => { ...

List<Coordinate2D> plyCoords = new List<Coordinate2D>();
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 1));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.25, 2));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.5, 1.1));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1.75, 2));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2, 1.1));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2.25, 2));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2.5, 1.1));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2.75, 2));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 1));
Polygon poly = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);

//Set symbology, create and add element to layout
CIMStroke outline = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(
            ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 2.0, SimpleLineStyle.Solid);
CIMPolygonSymbol polySym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(
         ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.ForwardDiagonal, outline);

ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(
  container, poly, polySym, "New Lasso");

Create Polygon Element

//Must be on QueuedTask.Run(() => { ...

//Build geometry
List<Coordinate2D> plyCoords = new List<Coordinate2D>();
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 7));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2, 7));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(2, 6.7));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 6.7));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(3, 6.1));
plyCoords.Add(new Coordinate2D(1, 6.1));
Polygon poly = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(plyCoords);

//Set symbology, create and add element to layout
CIMStroke outline = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructStroke(
  ColorFactory.Instance.BlueRGB, 2.0, SimpleLineStyle.DashDotDot);
CIMPolygonSymbol polySym = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPolygonSymbol(
  ColorFactory.Instance.RedRGB, SimpleFillStyle.ForwardDiagonal, outline);

ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(
  container, poly, polySym, "New Polygon", false);
