Resumen

A Multipoint object is an ordered collection of points.

Debate

En muchos flujos de trabajo de geoprocesamiento, puede que necesite ejecutar una operación concreta utilizando información de coordenadas y geometría, pero que no necesariamente desee pasar por el proceso de crear una nueva clase de entidad (temporal), llenar la clase de entidad con cursores, utilizar la clase de entidad y, a continuación, eliminar la clase de entidad temporal. En su lugar, puede utilizar objetos de geometría tanto para la entrada como para la salida con el fin de facilitar el geoprocesamiento. Los objetos de geometría se pueden crear desde cero usando clases Geometry, Multipoint, PointGeometry, Polygon o Polyline.

During the creation of a geometry object, a simplification process is performed to make the geometry topologically consistent according to its geometry type. For instance, it rectifies polygons that may be self-intersecting or contain incorrect ring orientations. Coordinates may move within the resolution of the geometry's spatial reference.

The following operators can be used in place of geometry methods:

Python operator	Geometry method
+	intersect
|	union
-	difference
^	symmetricDifference
==	equals
!=	not equals

For example, to union two geometry objects, g3 = g1 | g2 is equivalent to g3 = g1.union(g2).

The + operator will use the geometry type (dimension) of the first geometry to determine the geometry type of the output.

Descripción general del método

Método	Explicación
boundary ()	Constructs the boundary of the geometry.
buffer (distance)	Constructs a polygon at a specified distance from the geometry.
clip (envelope)	Constructs the intersection of the geometry and the specified extent.
contains (second_geometry, {relation})	Indicates if the base geometry contains the comparison geometry. contains is the opposite of within. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
convexHull ()	Constructs the geometry that is the minimal bounding polygon such that all outer angles are convex.
crosses (second_geometry)	Indicates if the two geometries intersect in a geometry of a lesser shape type. Two polylines cross if they share only points in common, at least one of which is not an endpoint. A polyline and an polygon cross if they share a polyline or a point (for vertical line) in common on the interior of the polygon which is not equivalent to the entire polyline. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
cut (cutter)	Splits this geometry into a part left of the cutting polyline, and a part right of it. When a polyline or polygon is cut, it is split where it intersects the cutter polyline. Each piece is classified as left of or right of the cutter. This classification is based on the orientation of the cutter line. Parts of the target polyline that do not intersect the cutting polyline are returned as part of the right of result for that input polyline. If a geometry is not cut, the left geometry will be empty (None).
difference (other)	Constructs the geometry that is composed only of the region unique to the base geometry but not part of the other geometry. The following illustration shows the results when the red polygon is the source geometry.
disjoint (second_geometry)	Indicates if the base and comparison geometries share no points in common. Two geometries intersect if disjoint returns False. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
distanceTo (other)	Returns the minimum distance between two geometries. The distance is in the units of the geometry's spatial reference. If the geometries intersect, the minimum distance is 0. Both geometries must have the same projection.
equals (second_geometry)	Indicates if the base and comparison geometries are of the same shape type and define the same set of points in the plane. This is a 2D comparison only; M and Z values are ignored. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
getPart ({index})	Returns an Array object of Point objects for a particular part of the geometry if an index is specified. If an index is not specified, an Array object containing an Array of Point objects for each geometry part is returned. The getPart method is equivalent to indexing an object; that is, obj.getPart(0) is equivalent to obj[0].
intersect (other, dimension)	Constructs a geometry that is the geometric intersection of the two input geometries. Different dimension values can be used to create different shape types. The intersection of two geometries of the same shape type is a geometry containing only the regions of overlap between the original geometries. For faster results, test if the two geometries are disjoint before calling intersect.
move ({dx}, {dy}, {dz})	Moves a geometry by specified distances along the x-, y-, and z-axes to create a new geometry.
overlaps (second_geometry)	Indicates if the intersection of the two geometries has the same shape type as one of the input geometries and is not equivalent to either of the input geometries. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
projectAs (spatial_reference, {transformation_name})	Projects a geometry from one spatial reference to another. When the geometry object and the destination spatial reference do not have a common datum, specify a transformation_name parameter value. For more information, see Geographic datum transformations and ListTransformations. A vertical transformation will be performed when the following criteria are met: The geometry object has z-coordinates. The geometry object's spatial reference and the spatial_reference parameter values both have a vertical coordinate system. The transformation_name parameter value is a vertical transformation. When the transformation_name parameter value is a vertical transformation, and neither the geometry object nor the destination spatial reference have a vertical coordinate system, the function will fail with a ValueError exception. If either the geometry object or the spatial_reference parameter value have an unknown spatial reference, the output geometry's spatial reference will be that of the spatial_reference parameter value. Use of unknown spatial reference is not recommended for analysis. The projectAs method will not modify m-values, if present.
rotate ({origin}, {rotation_angle})	Rotates a geometry around a specified origin by the degrees given in radians. The rotation is applied relative to the origin, so that the geometry rotates around the origin. The position of the rotated geometry is significantly affected by the choice of origin. Rotate does not apply to the z-direction. The following describes a few possible choices for the origin and its affect on the output: The origin is outside the geometry (not within or touching the geometry)—The location of the geometry will change, but the geometry will maintain relative positions to other geometries rotated in the same way. Positions will rotate around the origin. The origin is at the centroid of the geometry (the centroid is within or touching geometry)—The geometry will rotate (spin) in place around its centroid. The origin is on a vertex of the geometry—The geometry will rotate around the chosen vertex.
scale ({origin}, {sx}, {sy}, {sz})	Scales a geometry from a specified origin by specified factors along the x-, y-, and z-axes to create a new geometry. The position of a transformed point (or vertex) is given by ( (x - origin_x) * scale_x + origin_x, (y - origin_y) * scale_y + origin_y, (z - origin_z) * scale_z + origin_z ) The transformation is applied relative to the origin, so that the origin remains stationary while the geometry expands or contracts around it. The position and the direction of the expansion or contraction for the resulting geometries is significantly affected by the origin. The following describes a few possible choices for the origin and its affect on the output: The origin is outside the geometry (not within or touching the geometry)—The size and location of the geometry will change, but the geometry will maintain relative positions to other geometries scaled in the same way. Positions will expand away from or contract toward the origin point. The origin is at the centroid of the geometry (if the centroid is within or touching geometry)—The size of the geometry will change, but the geometry's location will remain anchored at the centroid. The geometry will grow or shrink in place around the centroid. The origin is on a vertex of the geometry—The size of the geometry will change, but the position of the geometry will remain anchored at the chosen vertex. The geometry will grow from or shrink toward the chosen vertex.
symmetricDifference (other)	Constructs the geometry that is the union of two geometries minus the instersection of those geometries. The two input geometries must be the same shape type.
touches (second_geometry)	Indicates if the boundaries of the geometries intersect. Two geometries touch when the intersection of the geometries is not empty, but the intersection of their interiors is empty. For example, a point touches a polyline only if the point is coincident with one of the polyline end points. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration.
union (other)	Constructs the geometry that is the set-theoretic union of the input geometries. The two geometries being unioned must be the same shape type.
within (second_geometry, {relation})	Indicates if the base geometry is within the comparison geometry. within is the opposite operator of contains. Only True relationships are shown in this illustration. The base geometry is within the comparison geometry if the base geometry is the intersection of the geometries and the intersection of their interiors is not empty. within is a Clementini operator, except in the case of an empty base geometry.
