CreatePolygon(IEnumerable<Segment>,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<Segment> segments,
   SpatialReference spatialReference
)

Public Overloads Shared Function CreatePolygon( _
   ByVal segments As IEnumerable(Of Segment), _
   Optional ByVal spatialReference As SpatialReference _
) As Polygon

Parameters

segments: Segments to create the polyline. The spatial references of the segments are checked for compatibility.
spatialReference: (Optional) The SpatialReference. The default value is null. If spatialReference is null, then the spatial reference will be inherited from segments which requires traversing through the enumeration of segments. For improved performance or if you want to set these properties yourself, use CreatePolygon(IEnumerable<Segment>,AttributeFlags,SpatialReference).

Return Value

A Polygon.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.InvalidOperationException	Incompatible spatial references.
System.ArgumentNullException	segments is null.

Remarks

The HasZ, HasM and HasID properties are inherited from which requires traversing through the enumeration of segments. For improved performance or if you want to set these properties yourself, use CreatePolygon(IEnumerable<Segment>,AttributeFlags,SpatialReference).

Example

Get the segments of a Polygon

List<Segment> segmentList = new List<Segment>(30);
ICollection<Segment> collection = segmentList;
polygon.GetAllSegments(ref collection);
// segmentList.Count = 4
// segmentList.Capacity = 30

// use the segments to build another polygon
Polygon polygonFromSegments = PolygonBuilderEx.CreatePolygon(collection);

Get the individual parts of a multipart feature

/// <param name="inputGeometry">The geometry to be exploded into the individual parts.</param>
/// <returns>An enumeration of individual parts as standalone geometries. The type of geometry is maintained, i.e.
/// if the input geometry is of type Polyline then each geometry in the return is of type Polyline as well.
/// If the input geometry is of type Unknown then an empty list is returned.</returns>
