public interface IRelationalOperator3D
extends Serializable

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

Description

This interface is new at ArcGIS 9.3.

Indicates whether two Z-Aware geometries intersect, sharing at least one point in common. In contrast to IRelationalOperator, Z values are taken into account when determining whether the given relationship exists.

Remarks

These methods are intended to be called against top-level geometries only (Point, Multipoint, Polyline, Polygon, Envelope, MultiPatch). To call a method against a Segment/Path or Ring, first add the part to a Polyline or Polygon container, respectively, and then call the appropriate method against the container.

These methods treat MultiPatch geometries as shell representations, where the interior is not considered part of the geometry. Consequently, a point situated inside a MultiPatch that does not touch one of its surfaces will be classified as disjoint from that MultiPatch.

Product Availability

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

Method Summary

boolean

disjoint3D(IGeometry pOther) Indicates if the two geometries share no points in common.

Method Detail

disjoint3D

boolean disjoint3D(IGeometry pOther)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Indicates if the two geometries share no points in common. Negate this result to compute the Intersect relation.

Description

Determines whether two z aware geometries intersect in 3D space. Two geometries are disjoint if their intersection is empty. Two geometries intersect if disjoint is FALSE.

Product Availability

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

Parameters:

pOther - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IGeometry (in)

Returns:

The pbDisjoint

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
