Interface esriGeometryType

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface esriGeometryType
extends Serializable

The available kinds of geometry objects.

Remarks

A list of the distinct types of geometries creatable geometries. Every geometry object belongs to and is identified as exactly one of these types (With the exception of esriGeometryAny which is true for all valid geometries.).

esriGeometryNull          = Unknown type of geometry

esriGeometryPoint         = Point

esriGeometryMultipoint    = Multipoint (Collection of Points)

esriGeometryLine          = Line         (Segment)

esriGeometryCircularArc   = CircularArc  (Segment)

esriGeometryEllipticArc   = EllipticArc  (Segment)

esriGeometryBezier3Curve  = BezierCurve  (Segment)

esriGeometryPath          = Path

esriGeometryPolyline      = Polyline (Collection of Paths)

esriGeometryRing          = Ring (Ring / SurfacePatch)

esriGeometryPolygon       = Polygon  (Collection of Rings)

esriGeometryEnvelope      = Envelope

esriGeometryAny           = Any valid geometry

esriGeometryBag           = GeometryBag (Collection of Geometries)

esriGeometryMultiPatch    = MultiPatch  (Collection of SurfacePatches)

esriGeometryTriangleStrip = TriangleStrip (SurfacePatch)
