IsTopologicallyEqual(Feature)

This method returns if the current shape and the targetFeature are topologically equal.

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.

IsTopologicallyEqual(BaseShape)

This method returns if the current shape and the targetShape are topologically equal.

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.

Register(Feature, Feature, DistanceUnit, GeographyUnit)

This method returns a BaseShape which has been registered from its original coordinate system to another based on two anchor PointShapes.

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.

TranslateByDegree(Double, Double, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit)

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

Remarks

This method moves a base shape from one location to another based on angleInDegrees and distance parameter. With this overload, it is important to note that the distance is based on the supplied distanceUnit parameter. For example, if your shape is in decimal degrees and you call this method with a distanceUnit of miles, you're going to move this shape a number of miles based on the distance value 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.

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.

Validate(ShapeValidationMode)

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

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.

GetWellKnownBinaryCore(WkbByteOrder)

This method returns a byte array that represents the shape in well-known binary.

Remarks

This method returns a byte array that represents the shape in well-known binary. Well-known binary allows you to describe a geometry as a binary array. Well-known binary is useful when you want to save a geometry in an efficient format using as little space as possible. An alternative to well-known binary is well-known text, which is a textual representation of a geometry object. We have methods that work with well-known text as well.

Return Value

Return Type Description
Byte[]<!– System.Bytethinkgeo.mapsuite.windowsphonecore.rectangleshape –> This method returns a byte array that represents the shape in well-known binary.

GetWellKnownTextCore()

This method returns the well-known text representation of this shape.

Remarks

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.

IsTopologicallyEqualCore(BaseShape)

This method returns if the current shape and the targetShape are topologically equal.

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.

TranslateByDegreeCore(Double, Double, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit)

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

Overloads

In this overload the distance is in the same GeographicUnit as the shape.

Remarks

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 Description
Void<!– System.Void –>

Parameters

Name Type Description
distance Double<!– System.Double –> 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 Double<!– System.Double –> A number between 0 and 360 degrees that represents the direction you wish to move the shape, with 0 being up.
shapeUnit GeographyUnit<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.GeographyUnit –> This is the GeographicUnit of the shape you are performing the operation on.
distanceUnit DistanceUnit<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.DistanceUnit –> 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.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.BaseShape(overriden) –> Go Back

TranslateByOffsetCore(Double, Double, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit)

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

Overloads

In this overload the X and Y offset are based on a DistanceUnit you specify regardless of the shape's GeographicUnit.

Remarks

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 Description
Void<!– System.Void –>

Parameters

Name Type Description
xOffsetDistance Double<!– System.Double –> This is the number of horizontal units of movement in the DistanceUnit specified as the distanceUnit.
yOffsetDistance Double<!– System.Double –> This is the number of horizontal units of movement in the DistanceUnit specified as the distanceUnit.

ValidateCore(ShapeValidationMode)

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

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.

Return Value

Return Type Description
ShapeValidationResult<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.ShapeValidationResult –> This method returns a ShapeValidationResult based on a series of tests.
