Description  
 
Contains  
Indicates if this geometry contains the other geometry. 
 
 
ContainsEx  
Indicates if this geometry contains the other geometry, optionally using Celementini's definition. 
 
 
Crosses  
Indicates if the two geometries intersect in a geometry of lesser dimension. 
 
 
Disjoint  
Indicates if the two geometries share no points in common. Negate this result to compute the Intersect relation. 
 
 
Equals  
Indicates if the two geometries are of the same type and define the same set of points in the plane. 
 
 
IsNear  
Indicates if this geometry is within distance from the other geometry. 
 
 
Overlaps  
Indicates if the intersection of the two geometries has the same dimension as one of the input geometries. 
 
 
Relation  
Indicates if the defined relationship exists. 
 
 
Touches  
Indicates if the boundaries of the geometries intersect. 
 
 
Within  
Indicates if this geometry is contained (is within) another geometry. 
 
 
WithinEx  
Indicates if this geometry contains the other geometry, optionally using Celementini's definition.

Description 
 
IRelationalOperator  
Provides access to members that determine if a certain spatial relationship exists between two geometries.

CoClasses and Classes 
Description 
 
Envelope  
A rectangle with sides parallel to a coordinate system defining the extent of another geometry; optionally has min and max measure, height and ID attributes. 
 
GeometryBag  
An ordered collection of objects that support the IGeometry interface. 
 
MultiPatch  
A collection of surface patches. 
 
Multipoint  
An ordered collection of points; optionally has measure, height and ID attributes. 
 
Point  
A two dimensional point, optionally with measure, height, and ID attributes. 
 
Polygon  
A collection of rings ordered by their containment relationship; optionally has measure, height and ID attributes. 
 
Polyline  
An ordered collection of paths; optionally has measure, height and ID attributes.
