//To check spatial reference efficiently
IPoint pointIn = null;
IPointCollection ptColl = null;
ISpatialReference pSpatialReferenceOfCollection = null;

project

public void project(ISpatialReference newReferenceSystem)
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Projects this geometry into a new spatial reference.

Description

To Project, the geometry needs to have a Spatial Reference set, and not have an UnknownCoordinateSystem. The new spatial reference system passed to the method defines the output coordinate system. If either spatial reference is Unknown, the coordinates are not changed. The Z and measure values are not changed by the Project method.

A geometry is not densified before it is projected. This can lead to the output geometries not reflecting the 'true' shape in the new coordinate system. A straight line in one coordinate system is not necessarily a straight line in a different coordinate system. Use IGeometry2::ProjectEx if you want to densify the geometries while they are projected.

The Project method must be applied on high-level geometries only. High-Level geometries are point, multipoint, polyline and polygon. To use this method with low-level geometries such as segments (Line, Circular Arc, Elliptic Arc, Bézier Curve), paths or rings, they must be wrapped into high-level geometry types.

If a geometry is projected to a projected coordinate system that can't represent the geographic area where the geometry is located (or if trying to move an xy coordinate from outside the projected coordinate system back into geographic), the geometry will be set to empty.

Remarks

Note: This method can only be called upon the top level geometries (Points, Multipoints, Polylines and Polygons). If the from/to spatial references have different geographic coordinate systems, the Project method looks for a GeoTransformationsOperationSet. If the set of Geotransformations is present in memory, Project will use it to perform a geographic/datum Transformation. To use a specific geotransformation, use the IGeometry2::ProjectEx method.

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

Supported Platforms

                     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.

Finds the point on the curve closest to inPoint, then copies that point to outPoint; optionally calculates related items.

Description

Finds the Point on the specified extended curve nearest to the input point and the distance between those points. Also returns information about the side of the curve the input point is on as well as the distance along the curve that the nearest point occurs.

Remarks

AsRatio is an input parameter that only affects the DistanceAlongCurve

distanceFromCurve is an output parameter that represents the minimum distance between the curve and the input point.

DistanceAlongCurve is an output parameter that represents the distance between the Frompoint of the input curve and the returned point on the curve.

bRightSide is an output parameter that tells if the output point is on the right side of the curve. The direction of the curve determines the right and left sides.

Note: The output geometry must be co-created prior to the query. The output geometry is not co-created by the method; it is populated. This can be used in performance critical situations.

Extracts a portion of this curve into a new curve.

Description

Gets the subcurve between the specified points along the original curve and creates a new curve. The elements in the new subcurve are the same type and have the same properties as the elements of the original curve. Which means if:

Input Geometry	Output Geometry
Polygon	Polyline
Polyline	Polyline
Ring	Path
Path	Path
Segment	Segment

If the input geometry is a polygon, you may want to use IRing::GetSubCurveEx which has more capabilities.

                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

Reverses the parameterization of the curve ('from' point becomes 'to' point, first segment becomes last segment, etc).

Description

ReverseOrientation changes the direction of the curve without changing the spatial position of the curve. The From Point and To Point of each Segment in each part of the curve are interchanged.

Remarks

The ReverseOrientation method works the same way as the Arcedit FLIP command. It reverses the order of the vertices in the Curve.

Caution should be taken in using ReverseOrientation on Polygons. Since ReverseOrientation changes the direction of each Ring within the Polygon, all Exterior Rings become Interior Rings and vice versa.

Product Availability

Description

A curve is closed if the From and To points of each part of the curve are equal.

Remarks

IsClosed may still return TRUE if the curve consists of improperly constructed geometries (ex. non-continuous paths). IsClosed only checks the location of the From and To points of each part, it does not check the internal parts for topological consistency.
