Clip shapefile by envelope

PurposeThis sample's purpose is to show pure ArcGIS Engine developers how to accomplish basic geoprocessing tasks using ITopologicalOperator. Applications like this are suitable for batch driven processing. The application takes a source shapefile and the extents of a clipping envelope. These are used to export the features inside the clipping envelope to a newly created shapefile.

How to use

If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

  1. Run the application with valid data for the following parameters: input shapefile and output shapefile.
  2. A new shapefile of the clip will be created.

Additional information

Parameters for the envelope have been hardcoded. To use a different envelope, edit the following lines from the top of ClipShapefileByEnv.cpp:
 
double xMin = -130.0;
double xMax = -114.0;
double yMin = 31.0;
double yMax = 41.5;
