    ByVal outEnvelope As IEnvelope _
)

public void QueryEnvelope (
    IEnvelope outEnvelope
);

Description

Returns the unique Envelope that binds the Geometry object.  This is the smallest Envelope that Contains the object.

Remarks

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. For example, creating the geometry only once outside a loop and use the query method could improve performance.
