Surface.ToLinearGeometry

ToLinearGeometry()

Gets approximate or equivalent non-curve version of this geometry using the default tolerance.

public IPolygon ToLinearGeometry()

Return Value

A IPolygon that approximates or equivalent to this ISurface. This is the equivalent of ToLinearGeometry with default tolerance. Default tolerances value is dependent on SpatialReferenceSystem of this geometry: For projected SRS Tolerance is 0.001 meters (in SRS units) For geographic SRS Tolerance is 1e-5 degrees (in SRS units) For unknown SRS Tolerance is 1e-5 For more details on what transformations are applied refer to ToLinearGeometry specification.

Exceptions

ToLinearGeometry(double)

Gets approximate or equivalent non-curve version of this geometry using the specified tolerance.

public IPolygon ToLinearGeometry(double tolerance)
ParameterTypeDescription
toleranceDoubleThe tolerance to use. The result is guaranteed to be less than tolerance away from the curved geometry, unless the number of points needed to linearize the geometry exceeds the per-quadrant maximum, currently equal to 10000 points.

Return Value

A IPolygon that approximates or equivalent to this ISurface: If this object is IPolygon itself the result is equivalent to this object If this object is not IPolygon it is linearized and IPolygon is created

Exceptions
