    • Description:This is the percentage by which to decrease the shape's size.

GetBoundingBoxCore()

  • N/A
Remarks
  • The GetBoundingBox method calculates the smallest RectangleShape that can encompass the entire geometry by examining each point in the geometry. Depending on the number of PointShapes and complexity of the geometry, this operation can take a significant amount of time (the larger the objects, the more time the operation will take). If the shape is a PointShape, then the bounding box's upper left and lower right points will be equal. This will create a RectangleShape with no area.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Description:The RectangleShape returned is the smallest RectangleShape that can encompass the entire geometry.
Parameters

RegisterCore(PointShape,PointShape,DistanceUnit,GeographyUnit)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • Registering allows you to take a geometric shape generated in a planar system and attach it to the ground in a Geographic Unit.A common scenario is integrating geometric shapes from external programs (such as CAD software or a modeling system) and placing them onto a map. You may have the schematics of a building in a CAD system and the relationship between all the points of the building are in feet. You want to then take the CAD image and attach it to where it really exists on a map. You would use the register method to do this.Registering is also useful for scientific modeling, where software models things such as a plume of hazardous materials or the fallout from a volcano. The modeling software typically generates these models in a fictitious planar system. You would then use the register to take the abstract model and attach it to a map with real coordinates.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Type:BaseShape
  • Description:This method returns a BaseShape which has been registered from its original coordinate system to another based on two anchor PointShapes.
Parameters
  • fromPoint
    • Description:This parameter is the anchor PointShape in the coordinate of origin.
  • toPoint
    • Description:This parameter is the anchor PointShape in the coordinate of destination.
  • fromUnit
    • Description:This parameter is the DistanceUnit of the coordinate of origin.
  • toUnit
    • Description:This parameter is the GeographyUnit of the coordinate of destination.

TranslateByOffsetCore(Double,Double,GeographyUnit,DistanceUnit)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • This method moves the base shape from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance. It is important to note that with this overload the X and Y offset units are based on the distanceUnit parameter. For example, if your shape is in decimal degrees and you call this method with an X offset of one and a Y offset of one, you're going to move this shape one unit of the distanceUnit in the horizontal direction and one unit of the distanceUnit in the vertical direction. In this way, you can easily move a shape in decimal degrees five miles to on the X axis and 3 miles on the Y axis.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Type:Void
  • Description:N/A
Parameters

TranslateByDegreeCore(Double,Double,GeographyUnit,DistanceUnit)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • This method moves the base shape from one location to another based on angleInDegrees and distance parameter. It is important to note that with this overload the distance units are based on the distanceUnit parameter. For example, if your shape is in decimal degrees and you call this method with a distanceUnit in miles, you're going to move this shape a number of miles based on the distance and the angleInDegrees. In this way, you can easily move a shape in decimal degrees five miles to the north.If you pass a distance of 0, then the operation is ignored.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Type:Void
  • Description:N/A
Parameters
  • distance
    • Type:Double
    • Description:The distance is the number of units to move the shape using the angle specified. The distance unit will be the DistanceUnit specified in the distanceUnit parameter. The distance must be greater than or equal to 0.
  • angleInDegrees
    • Type:Double
    • Description:A number between 0 and 360 degrees that represents the direction you wish to move the shape with zero being up.
  • shapeUnit
    • Description:This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.
  • distanceUnit
    • Description:This is the DistanceUnit you would like to use as the measurement for the move. For example, if you select miles as your distanceUnit, then the distance will be calculated in miles.

RotateCore(PointShape,Single)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • This method rotates the shape by a number of degrees based on a pivot point. By placing the pivot point in the center of the shape, you can acheive in-place rotation. By moving the pivot point outside of the center of the shape, you can translate the shape in a circular motion. Moving the pivot point further away from the center will make the circular area larger.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Type:Void
  • Description:N/A
Parameters
  • pivotPoint
    • Description:The pivotPoint represents the center of rotation.
  • degreeAngle
    • Type:Single
    • Description:The number of degrees of rotation required from 0 to 360.

GetClosestPointToCore(BaseShape,GeographyUnit)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • This method returns point of the current shape that is closest to the target shape. It is often the case that the point returned is not a point of the object itself. An example would be a line with two points that are far apart from each other. If you set the targetShape to be a point midway between the points but a short distance away, the method would return a point that is on the line, but not one of the two points that make up the line.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Description:A PointShape representing the point of the current shape that is closest to the targetShape.
Parameters

Return Value
  • Type:Double
  • Description:The return type is the distance between this shape and the targetShape in the GeographyUnit of the shape.
Parameters
  • targetShape
    • Type:BaseShape
    • Description:The shape you are trying to find the distance to.
  • shapeUnit
    • Description:This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.
  • distanceUnit
    • Description:This is the DistanceUnit you would like to use as the return value. For example, if you select miles as your distanceUnit, then the distance will be returned in miles.

GetWellKnownTextCore(Int32)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • This method returns a string that represents the shape in well-known text. Well-known text allows you to describe geometries as a string of text.

ValidateCore(ShapeValidationMode)

  • N/A
Remarks
  • We use this method, with the simple enumeration, internally before doing any kind of other methods on the shape. In this way, we are able to verify the integrity of the shape itself. If you wish to test things such as whether a polygon self-intersects, we invite you to call this method with the advanced ShapeValidationMode. One thing to consider is that for complex polygon shapes this operation could take some time, which is why we only run the basic, faster test. If you are dealing with polygon shapes that are suspect, we suggest you run the advanced test.Overriding:Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.
Return Value
  • Description:This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.
