Interface IGeometryDef

All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
All Known Subinterfaces:
IGeometryDefEdit
All Known Implementing Classes:
GeometryDef

public interface IGeometryDef
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that return information about the geometry definition.

Remarks

The IGeometryDef interface provides read-only access to the GeometryDef properties.

The AvgNumPoints, GridCount and GridSize properties are all attributes of the geodatabase spatial index. Shapefiles will return 0 for GridCount.
