This method returns the convex hull of the shape defined as the smallest convex ring that contains all the points in the shape.

This method is useful when you want to create a perimeter around the shape. For example if you had a MultiPolygon which represented buildings in 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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

This method decreases the size of the LineShape by the percentage given in the percentage parameter.

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, as you are applying the operation multiple times. There is also a ScaleUp method that will enlarge the shape.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.LineBaseShape(overriden) –> Go Back

This method increases or decreases the size of the shape by the specified scale factor given in the parameter.

This protected virtual method is called from the concrete public method ScaleTo. It does not take into account any transaction activity, as this is the responsibility of the concrete public method ScaleTo. This way, as a developer, if you choose to override this method you do not have to consider transactions at all.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.BaseShape –> Go Back

This method increases the size of the LineShape by the percentage given in the percentage parameter.

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, as you are applying the operation multiple times. There is also a ScaleDown method that will shrink the shape.

Simplify the LineBaseShape to MultilineShape depends on distance tolerance and different SimplificationType.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.LineBaseShape –> Go Back

This method returns if the current shape and the targetShape have at least one boundary point in common, but no interior points.

Overriding:

Please ensure that you validate the parameters being passed in and raise the exceptions defined above.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.BaseShape –> Go Back

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

In this overload, the distance unit is based on a DistanceUnit you specify in the distanceUnit parameter, regardless of the shape's GeographicUnit.

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.

If you pass a distance of 0, then the operation is ignored.

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

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

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

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.

The protected virtual method used by “Union” that you can overwrite to implement your own logic.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core.LineBaseShape –> Go Back

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.

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

This property specifies whether the shape can be rotated.

If this property returns false and you attempt call the rotate method, it will throw a NotImplementedException.
