ThinkGeo.MapSuite.MapSuiteGeocoder.CoordinatesMatchingPlugin
Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.
This class implements coordinate matching functions. The CoordinatesMatchingPlugin uses serveral DBF and R-Tree index files to accomplish matching operations. street.dbf: Contains non-geographic information for streets. rt2.dbf: Contains coordinate information for streets. tlid.dbf: Contains street TIGER line ID (TLID) and index in street.dbf. Sorted by TLID. zip.dbf: Contains zip code information. rt2.ids and rt2.idx: R-Tree index files for streets by zip.

Return Value
- Type:Void
- Description:N/A
Parameters
Match(String)
- This method matches the source text and returns a collection of GeocoderMatch. This method is the concrete wrapper for MatchCore. It firstly formalizes the input sourceText, gets the formalized results and matches them using MatchCore one by one, then returns all of the results within a collection.

Parameters
MatchCore(String)
- This method matches the source text representing coordinates. It initializes the bounding box list for zip codes and tries to find which zip code area contains the coordinates by looping through that list. Next, it gets a street list from the R-Tree index file according to the zip bounding box that was found. It then calculates the distance between the point and the streets, and gets the street that is the shortest distance from the point.

- Description:The collection of GeocoderMatch object.
Parameters
- sourceText
- Type:String
- Description:This parameter is the source text to match.
