CreatePolygon(IEnumerable<MapPoint>,AttributeFlags,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( 
   IEnumerable<MapPoint> points,
   AttributeFlags attributes,
   SpatialReference spatialReference
)

Public Overloads Shared Function CreatePolygon( _
   ByVal points As IEnumerable(Of MapPoint), _
   ByVal attributes As AttributeFlags, _
   Optional ByVal spatialReference As SpatialReference _
) As Polygon

Parameters

points: Points to create the polygon. Line segments are created from the points.
attributes: AttributeFlags to set the HasZ, HasM and HasID attributes. If no attributes should be set, pass AttributeFlags.None. If all attributes should be set, pass AttributeFlags.AllAttributes. Use the bitwise OR operator to set two attributes. For example, to set HasZ = true and HasM = true, pass AttributeFlags.HasZ | AttributeFlags.HasM.
spatialReference: (Optional) The SpatialReference. The default value is null. The spatial reference of each point is ignored.

Return Value

A Polygon.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	points is null.
