    ToGeometry() Method
    In This Topic
    Returns a Polygon instance representing the current state of the builder.
    Syntax
    public new Polygon ToGeometry()
    Public Shadows Function ToGeometry() As Polygon

    Return Value

    Example
    Construct a Polygon - from an enumeration of MapPoints
    // Use a builderEx convenience method or use a builderEx constructor.
    
    MapPoint pt1 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 1.0);
    MapPoint pt2 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 2.0);
    MapPoint pt3 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 2.0);
    MapPoint pt4 = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(2.0, 1.0);
    
    List<MapPoint> list = new List<MapPoint>() { pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4 };
    
    Polygon polygon = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(list, SpatialReferences.WGS84);
    // polygon.HasZ will be false - it is determined by the HasZ flag of the points in the list
    
    // or specifically use AttributeFlags.NoAttributes
    polygon = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(list, AttributeFlags.None);
    
    // use AttributeFlags.None as we have 2D points
    PolygonBuilderEx polygonBuilder = new PolygonBuilderEx(list, AttributeFlags.None);
    polygonBuilder.SpatialReference = SpatialReferences.WGS84;
    polygon = polygonBuilder.ToGeometry();
    
    Build a donut polygon
    List<Coordinate2D> outerCoordinates = new List<Coordinate2D>();
    outerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(10.0, 10.0));
    outerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(10.0, 20.0));
    outerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(20.0, 20.0));
    outerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(20.0, 10.0));
    
    // define the inner polygon as anti-clockwise
    List<Coordinate2D> innerCoordinates = new List<Coordinate2D>();
    innerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(13.0, 13.0));
    innerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(17.0, 13.0));
    innerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(17.0, 17.0));
    innerCoordinates.Add(new Coordinate2D(13.0, 17.0));
    
    PolygonBuilderEx pbEx = new PolygonBuilderEx(outerCoordinates);
    Polygon donutEx = pbEx.ToGeometry() as Polygon;
    double areaEx = donutEx.Area;       // area = 100
    
    pbEx.AddPart(innerCoordinates);
    donutEx = pbEx.ToGeometry() as Polygon;
    
    areaEx = donutEx.Area;    // area = 84.0
    
    areaEx = GeometryEngine.Instance.Area(donutEx);    // area = 84.0
