==== Public Methods ====
** {{wiki:PublicMethod.gif|}} GetPerimeter(GeographyUnit,DistanceUnit) **

This method returns the perimeter of the shape, defined as the sum of the lengths of all its sides.
== Remarks ==
You would use this method to find the distance around the area shape.

== Return Value ==
  * Type:Double
  * Description:The return unit is based on a LengthUnit you specify in the returningUnit parameter, regardless of the shape's GeographyUnit.

== Parameters ==
  * //shapeUnit//
    * Type:[[ThinkGeo.MapSuite.SilverlightCore.GeographyUnit|GeographyUnit]]
    * Description:This is the GeographyUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.

  * //returningUnit//

== Return Value ==
  * Type:Double
  * Description:The return unit is based on a AreaUnit you specify in the returningUnit parameter, regardless of the shape's GeographyUnit.

== Parameters ==
  * //shapeUnit//
    * Type:[[ThinkGeo.MapSuite.SilverlightCore.GeographyUnit|GeographyUnit]]

<div newline></div>
** {{wiki:PublicMethod.gif|}} ScaleUp(Double) **

This method increases the size of the area shape by the percentage given in the percentage parameter.
== Remarks ==
This method is useful when you would like to increase the size of the shape. Note that a larger percentage will scale the shape up faster, since you apply the operation multiple times. There is a ScaleDown method that will shrink the shape. as well.

== Return Value ==
  * Type:Void
  * Description:N/A

== Parameters ==
  * //percentage//
    * Type:Double
    * Description:This is the percentage by which to increase the shape's size.

== Return Value ==
  * Type:Void
  * Description:This method is useful when you would like to decrease the size of the shape. Note that a larger percentage will scale the shape down faster, since you apply the operation multiple times. There is a ScaleUp method that will enlarge the shape as well.

** {{wiki:PublicMethod.gif|}} GetConvexHull() **

This method returns the convex hull of the shape, defined as the smallest convex ring that contains all of the points in the shape.
== Remarks ==
This method is useful when you want to create a perimeter around the shape. For example, if you had a MultiPolygon that represented buildings on a campus, you could easily get the convex hull of the buildings and determine the perimeter of all of the buildings together. This also works with MultiPoint shapes, where each point may represent a certain type of person you are doing statistics on. With convex hull, you can get an idea of the regions those points are located in.
