-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.

-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.

-==== 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.

-==== Register(PointShape,​ PointShape, 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.

-==== TranslateByOffset(BaseShape,​ Double, Double, GeographyUnit,​ DistanceUnit) ==== 
-<!-- static --> 
-This method returns a shape repositioned from one location to another based on an X and Y offset distance. 
-=== Remarks === 
-This method returns a shape 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.

-==== 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.

This is effect is similar to what you might see on an international flight when the displayed flight path is curved.

-==== GetWellKnownBinaryCore(RingOrder,​ 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 geometries 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.

-==== 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.

-==== RegisterCore(PointShape,​ PointShape, 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.

-This method rotates the shape a number of degrees based on a pivot point. By placing the pivot point in the center of the shape, you can achieve 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 outside of the center will make the circular area larger.

-=== Remarks === 
-This method returns a shape repositioned 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.

-In this overload, the X and Y offset are based on a DistanceUnit you specify, regardless of the shape'​s GeographicUnit. 
-=== Remarks === 
-This method returns a shape 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.

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.
