Locates an element of the graph nearest to the query point that is also within searchRadius units of it; whichElements is a bitwise combination of esriTopologyElement values.

Description

The ITopologyGraph::HitTest method allows to retrieve the nearest TopologyElement (TopologyNode or TopologyEdge) located within a distance from an input point. This could be used to get a TopologyElement based on a user mouse click. The return value represents success (whether or not a point in the graph was hit), while the final two parameters return the distance from the hit point to the output point and a reference to the topology element that was hit.

If a reference to the hit point is needed, an instantiated IPoint reference should be passed to the hitPoint parameter. This will modify the coordinates of the existing point to those of the hit point. If the hit point is not required, a null value can be passed into this parameter.

The search radius distance must use the same distance units as the Topology or MapTopology units no conversion is performed if they are not the same.

Normally, the from and to nodes of the edge cannot be repositioned through use of this method. An exception is made when the edge is closed and doesn't interact with any other edges at its from/to node. In that case, edge reshaping is done by delegating to IRing::Reshape rather than IPolyline::Reshape.

                          int fID,
                          boolean selected)
                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException
Selects parents of edges. SUbsequent edits to those edges will only be posted back to selected parents.

Description

This method allows you to control which features (TopologyParents) are affected by the next topology graph operation.

Remarks

A topology parent is a feature associated with a topology element (a topology node or topology edge). A parent can have two states; selected or unselected. This state determines if the feature will be affected by the next topology graph operation.

There is a difference between the topology selection and the parent selection. The topology selection is all the selected topology elements (Ex: ITopologyGraph::EdgeSelection or ITopologyGraph::NodeSelection). The parent selection is the state of the parent features and is independent from the topology selection. By default, for a given topology element, all of its parents are selected. However it is possible to explicitly unselect one or more parents so the element is still selected but not all of the parents are. After any operation on the topology graph the parent selection will be reset to default state (all parents selected).

                                   AutomationException
Creates a geometry corresponding to the current set of edges/nodes owned by the specified parent.

Description

GetParentGeometry returns a new geometry created from the set of edges/nodes owned by the specified TopologyParent. It will construct a geometry using the edges and nodes of given parent. This means that if vertices are introduced in the TopologyGraph by the presence of non-explicit intersections (Intersections not originally present in the parents) those intersections will be reflected by the insertion of new vertices on the output geometry (See picture below).

                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException
Change graph connectivity: Moves the specified node, along with any selected edges incident on it. A copy of the node, along with unselected edges, remains in the original location.

Description

SplitMoveNode is a method that allows modification of topology connectivity, by disconnecting a node and reconnecting it at a specified destination location. The selected TopologyElements (Node or Edge) Selection determines how the features (TopologyParents) are modified. The behavior is also different depending of the geometry type of the features modified (Polyline or Polygon). As any other operations on the TopologyGraph the Parent Selection will determine which parent is affected by the this operation (See ITopologyGraph::SetParentSelected topic for details on Topology Selection Vs Parent Selection)

SplitMoveNode requires that exactly one node and optionally one or more edges connected to this node are selected. It will not modify the TopologyParents if the destination point causes the features to be deleted. In this case the method will generate an error and abort the SplitMoveNode operation.

selectByGeometry

                             AutomationException
Selects nodes and/or edges that intersect the specified geometry; whichElements is a bitwise combination of esriTopologyElement values.

Description

The ITopologyGraph::SelectByGeometry method allow to modify the current set of selected TopologyElement part of the TopologyGraph using an input geometry. The selection behavior is determined by the esriTopologySelectionResultEnum parameter.

Remarks

Only geometry types that implement the IRelationalOperator interface are valid for the pGeometry parameter. This method uses the IRelationalOperator::Disjoint (opposite of intersect) to determine if TopologyElements have to be selected. Therefore this method may select TopologyEdges that are not completely overlapping with the input geometry if the input is of type polygon or polyline. Using a point as the input geometry is a valid way to select only one edge.

whichElements is a bitwise combination of esriTopologyElement values.

If a Topology Element selected programmatically has to be moved using the Topology Edit Tool, the Selection Anchor has to be set to a valid location on the topology element.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux
