AGSPolygon Class Reference

---

Description

Instances of this class represent a polygon object. A polygon is defined by a collection of rings and an optional spatial reference. Each ring is a bounded area represented by a collection of points. The first and last points of a ring must coincide so that the ring is closed. Each point constitutes a vertex of the polygon.

AGSPolygon represents an immutable polygon, it cannot be altered after being created. Use AGSMutablePolygon for a mutable polygon. You can get a mutable version from AGSPolygon by passing the mutableCopy message to an instance of AGSPolygon.

Member Function Documentation

- (BOOL) containsPoint:

(AGSPoint *)

point

Checks whether point is contained in the polygon. The point and the polygon must have the same spatial reference.

Parameters:

point

The point to test containment.

Returns:

YES if point is contained within the polygon.

Since:

1.0

- (void) decodeWithJSON:

(NSDictionary *)

json

[optional, inherited]

Decode object from JSON representation.

Parameters:

json

The JSON representation of the object to be decoded.

Since:

1.0

- (NSDictionary *) encodeToJSON

[optional, inherited]

Encode and return JSON representation for object.

Returns:

JSON representation of object.

Since:

1.0

- (id) initWithJSON:

(NSDictionary *)

json

[optional, inherited]
