Generalize | Generalizes this polycurve using the Douglas-Poiker algorithm. | 
![]()  | 
GeometryType | The type of this geometry. | 
![]()  | 
GeoNormalize | Shifts longitudes, if need be, into a continuous range of 360 degrees. | 
![]()  | 
GeoNormalizeFromLongitude | Normalizes longitudes into a continuous range containing the longitude. This method is obsolete. | 
![]()  | 
GetSubcurve | Extracts a portion of this curve into a new curve. | 
![]()  | 
IsClosed | Indicates if 'from' and 'to' points (of each part) are identical. | 
![]()  | 
IsEmpty | Indicates whether this geometry contains any points. | 
![]()  | 
Length | The length of the curve. | 
![]()  | 
Project | Projects this geometry into a new spatial reference. | 
![]()  | 
QueryEnvelope | Copies this geometry's envelope properties into the specified envelope. | 
![]()  | 
QueryFromPoint | Copies this curve's 'from' point to the input point. | 
![]()  | 
QueryNormal | Constructs a line normal to a curve from a point at a specified distance along the curve. | 
![]()  | 
QueryPoint | Copies to outPoint the properties of a point on the curve at a specified distance from the beginning of the curve. | 
![]()  | 
QueryPointAndDistance | Finds the point on the curve closest to inPoint, then copies that point to outPoint; optionally calculates related items. | 
![]()  | 
QueryTangent | Constructs a line tangent to a curve from a point at a specified distance along the curve. | 
![]()  | 
QueryToPoint | Copies the curve's 'to' point into the input point. | 
![]()  | 
Reshape | Modifies this polyline by replacing some of its segments with some segments from reshapeSource. | 
![]()  | 
ReshapeEx | If bInterpolateReshaped is true, then new vertices will be interpolated based on vertices from the polyline being reshaped. Otherwise, attributes on the reshaping line will be preserved in the output. | 
![]()  | 
ReverseOrientation | Reverses the parameterization of the curve ('from' point becomes 'to' point, first segment becomes last segment, etc). | 
![]()  | 
SetEmpty | Removes all points from this geometry. | 
![]()  | 
SimplifyEx | Use either planar or network simplify regardless of current attribute awareness. | 
![]()  | 
SimplifyNetwork | Removes zero length segments (zero in 2 dimensions), merges parts at endpoints that only connect to each other, reorients segments that are pointing against the prevailing orientation for a part. | 
![]()  | 
Smooth | Converts this curve into a smooth curve containing only Bezier curve segments. | 
![]()  | 
SnapToSpatialReference | Moves points of this geometry so that they can be represented in the precision of the geometry's associated spatial reference system. | 
![]()  | 
SpatialReference | The spatial reference associated with this geometry. | 
![]()  | 
SplitAtDistance | Introduces a new vertex into this polyline at a specified distance from the beginning of the polyline. | 
![]()  | 
SplitAtPoint | Introduces a new vertex into this polyline at the location on it closest to the input point. | 
![]()  | 
ToPoint | The 'to' point of the curve. | 
![]()  | 
TouchCut | Cut a polyline at locations where the cutter only touches the polyline, in addition to locations where the cutter crosses it. | 
![]()  | 
Weed | Generalizes using a small tolerance based upon either the system units of the geometry's spatial reference, or the geometry's bounding box. |
