This method calculates the smallest RectangleShape that encompasses the entire geometry.

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.

Return Value

• Return Type:RectangleShape
• Description:The RectangleShape returned is the smallest RectangleShape that can encompass the entire geometry.

Go Back

This method returns the center point of the current shape's bounding box.

This method returns the center point of the current shape's bounding box. It is important to note that this is the center point of the bounding box. There are numerous ways to calculate the “center” of a geometry such, as its weighted center, etc. You can find other centers by examining the various methods of the shape itself. Overriding: Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.

Return Value

• Return Type:PointShape
• Description:A PointShape representing the center point of the current shape's bounding box.

Go Back

This method returns the point of the current shape that is closest to the target shape.

This method returns the 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 from the line, the method would return a point that is on the line but not either of the two points that make up the line.

Return Value

• Return Type:PointShape
• Description:A PointShape representing the closest point of the current shape to the targetShape.

This method returns a string that represents the shape in well-known text. Well-known text allows you to describe a geometry 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 geometric shapes.POINT(5 17)LINESTRING(4 5,10 50,25 80)POLYGON¹⁾MULTIPOINT(3.7 9.7,4.9 11.6)MULTILINESTRING²⁾MULTIPOLYGON³⁾,⁴⁾)

This method moves the shape from one location to another, based on a direction in degrees and distance.

This method moves the base shape from one location to another, based on an angleInDegrees and distance parameter. With this overload, it is important to note that the distance units are the same GeographicUnit as the shape. For example, if your shape is in decimal degrees and you call this method with a distance of 1, you're going to move this shape 1 decimal degree in direction of the angleInDegrees. In many cases it is more useful to specify the DistanceUnit of movement, such as in miles or yards, so for these scenarios there is another overload you may want to use instead.If you pass a distance of 0, then the operation is ignored.

Return Value

• Return Type:Void
• Description:N/A

distance

• Type:Double
• Description:The distance is the number of units to move the shape in the angle specified. The distance unit will be the same as the GeographyUnit for the shape. 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 0 being up.

shapeUnit

• Type:GeographyUnit
• Description:This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.

distanceUnit

• Type:DistanceUnit
• Description:This is the DistanceUnit you would like to use as the measure for the move. For example, if you select miles as your distanceUnit, then the xOffsetDistance and yOffsetDistance will be calculated in miles.

This method moves the base shape from one location to another, based on an X and Y offset distance.

This method moves the 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 1 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.

Return Value

• Return Type:Void
• Description:N/A

xOffsetDistance

• Type:Double
• Description:This is the number of horizontal units of movement in the DistanceUnit specified as the distanceUnit.

yOffsetDistance

• Type:Double
• Description:This is the number of horizontal units of movement in the DistanceUnit specified as the distanceUnit.

shapeUnit

• Type:GeographyUnit
• Description:This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.

distanceUnit

• Type:DistanceUnit
• Description:This is the DistanceUnit you would like to use as the measure for the move. For example, if you select miles as your distanceUnit, then the xOffsetDistance and yOffsetDistance will be calculated in miles.

This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.

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.

Return Value

• Return Type:ShapeValidationResult
• Description:This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.

validationMode

• Type:ShapeValidationMode
• Description:This parameter determines whether the test is simple or advanced. In some cases, the advanced tests can take some time. The simple test is designed to always be fast.
