IGeometryServer2.Generalize Method

Returns generalized (Douglas-Poiker) versions of the input polylines and polygons (uses IPolycurve::Generalize).

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function Generalize ( _
    ByVal pSR As ISpatialReference, _
    ByVal pInGA As IGeometryArray, _
    ByVal maxDeviation As Double, _
    ByVal pDeviationUnit As ILinearUnit _
) As IGeometryArray

[C#]
public IGeometryArray Generalize (
    ISpatialReference pSR,
    IGeometryArray pInGA,
    double maxDeviation,
    ILinearUnit pDeviationUnit
);

[C++]
HRESULT Generalize(
  ISpatialReference* pSR,
  IGeometryArray* pInGA,
  double maxDeviation,
  ILinearUnit* pDeviationUnit,
  IGeometryArray** ppGeneralizedGA
);

[C++]
Parameters
pSR 
  pSR is a parameter of type ISpatialReference
pInGA 
  pInGA is a parameter of type IGeometryArray
maxDeviation 
  maxDeviation is a parameter of type double
pDeviationUnit 
  pDeviationUnit is a parameter of type ILinearUnit
ppGeneralizedGA [out, retval]
  ppGeneralizedGA is a parameter of type IGeometryArray

Remarks

The Generalize operation applies Douglas-poiker line generalization to each element of the input array. The results are placed in corresponding indexes of the output array. If DeviationUnit is specified, then MaxDeviation is expressed in those units, otherwise it is expressed in the units of the spatial reference.
