Interface esriGeometryDimension

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface esriGeometryDimension
extends Serializable

The topological dimension of a geometry.

Remarks

Describes the dimensionality of the geometry object. Each dimension corresponds to a direction of orthogonal movement. Therefore, Zero Dimensions describes a point with no extent beyond the point itself. One Dimension describes a line where the dimension of movement extends along the length of the line. Two Dimensions describes a surface where the movement can occur along two parametric orthogonal axes to create an Area. Three Dimensions describes a space with three parametric directions of movement (height, width, and depth). 2.5 Dimensions is a pseudo-dimensional construct that refers to a functional surface, represented by a planar Two Dimensional object with Z attributes. A No Dimensional object (not to be confused with a Zero Dimensional point) is an object for which dimensionality is not properly defined.

esriGeometry0Dimension   = Points and Multipoints
esriGeometry1Dimension   = Segments, Paths, and Polylines
esriGeometry2Dimension   = Envelopes, Rings, Polygons and Multipatches
esriGeometry25Dimension  = ZAware esriGeometry2Dimension objects
esriGeometry3Dimension   = New upcoming geometry type
esriGeometryNoDimension  = GeometryBags
