Interface ISegmentCollection

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

Path, Polygon, Polyline, Ring

public interface ISegmentCollection
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that manipulate the segments of a path, ring, polyline, or polygon.

Description

A Segment Collection is a collection of Segments that compose a segment-based geometry. A Segment Collection can be used to access any segment within a segment-based geometry without regard to the overall geometry that the Segment Collection represents. As a geometry, the Segment Collection is assumed to be a valid Path. Although it is possible to access the Segment Collection of an entire Polyline or Polygon, manipulation of Polyline and Polygons is best done with a Geometry Collection.

When To Use

If you are using a development language that does not support C style arrays, use IGeometryBridge instead. The IGeometryBridge interface solves that problem allowing you to pass safe arrays instead.

replaceSegments

void replaceSegments(int index,
                     int comingIn,
                     int goingAway,
                     ISegment newSegments)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Deprecated. This method uses C style arrays which are not supported in the ArcGIS API for Java. It is replaced by GeometryEnvironment.replaceSegments(com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISegmentCollection, int, int, com.esri.arcgis.geometry.ISegment[]).

Removes and inserts from segments. This method is intended for internal use only.

Description

Removes a specified number (goingAway) of Segments from a Segment Collection starting at a given index and replaces them (starting at the same index) with a specified number (comingIn) of Segments from an array of Segments.

Remarks

ReplaceSegments will return an error ("The index is either too large or too small") if the inputs are inconsistent. For example, specifying index = 4 on a polyline with only 2 segments.

On multipart geometry, segments cannot be replaced on more than one part at the time. For example, an error (("The index is either too large or too small") is returned on a polyline with two parts containing three segments each when specifying index= 2, incoming= 2, removal= 2. The error is returned because the first part doesn't contain enough segments to remove two segments starting at index = 2. This behavior is enforced for performance reasons. Please see the example.
