-==== Remarks ====
-This method creates a BaseShape from a string of well-known text. Well-known text allows you to describe geometries as a string of text. Well-known text is useful when you want to save a geometry in a format such as a text file, or when you simply want to cut and paste the text between other applications. An alternative to well-known text is well-known binary, which is a binary representation of a geometry object. We have methods that work with well-known binary as well. Below are some samples of what well-known text might look like for various kinds of geometries.POINT(5 17)LINESTRING(4 5,10 50,25 80)POLYGON((2 2,6 2,6 6,2 6,2 2),(3 3,4 3,4 4,3 4,3 3))MULTIPOINT(3.7 9.7,4.9 11.6)MULTILINESTRING((4 5,11 51,21 26),(-4 -7,-9 -7,-14 -3))MULTIPOLYGON(((2 2,6 2,6 6,2 6,2 2),(3 3,4 3,4 4,3 4,3 3)),((4 4,7 3,7 5,4 4)))

-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 longer for larger objects. 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.

-  * **Type**:[[ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.Feature|Feature]]
+  * //This method creates a BaseShape from a string of well-known text. Well-known text allows you to describe geometries as a string of text. Well-known text is useful when you want to save a geometry in a format such as a text file, or when you simply want to cut and paste the text between other applications. An alternative to well-known text is well-known binary, which is a binary representation of a geometry object. We have methods that work with well-known binary as well.

-=== Register(Feature,Feature,DistanceUnit,GeographyUnit) ===
+  * Type:[[ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.BaseShape|BaseShape]]
-This method returns a BaseShape which has been registered from its original coordinate system to another based on two anchor PointShapes.
+  * Description:The return type is a higher level shape constructed from the well-known text you passed into the method. Though the object is a higher level shape, such as a PolygonShape or MultiPointShape, you will need to cast it to that shape in order to use its unique properties.
-==== 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.

+<div newline></div>
-This method returns a feature repositioned from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance.
+** {{wiki:ProtectedMethod.gif|}} GetWellKnownTypeCore() **
-==== Remarks ====
-This method returns a feature repositioned from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance. With this overload, it is important to note that 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 1 and a Y offset of 1, 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 on the X axis and 3 miles on the Y axis. As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

-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.

If you are dealing with polygon shapes that are suspect, we suggest you run the advanced test.

-==== Remarks ====
-Topologically equal means that the shapes are essentially the same. For example, let's say you have a line with two points, point A and point B. You also have another line that is made up of point A, point B and point C. Point A of line one shares the same vertex as point A of line two, and point B of line one shares the same vertex as point C of line two. They are both straight lines, so point B of line two would lie on the first line. Essentially the two lines are the same, with line 2 having just one extra point. Topologically they are the same line, so this method would return true. Overriding: Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.

-This method moves a base shape from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance. With this overload, it is important to note that 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 1 and a Y offset of 1, 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 on the X axis and 3 miles on the Y axis.
