ArcObjects Library Reference (Geometry)

Triangles CoClass

A collection of 3D triangles, where each consecutive triplet of vertices defines a new triangle

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Extended Error Information

Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.

Interfaces

Interfaces	Description
IClone (esriSystem)	Provides access to members that control cloning of objects.
IGeometry	Provides access to members that describe properties and behavior of all geometric objects.
IGeometry2	Provides access to members that extend the IGeometry interface with a more sophisticated projection method.
IGeometryCollection	Provides access to members that can be used for accessing, adding and removing individual geometries of a multi-part geometry (Multipoint, Polyline, Polygon, MultiPatch, and GeometryBag).
IMAware	Indicator interface that identifies geometric objects that can have persistent M values attached to their vertices.
IPointCollection	Provides access to members that manipulate the points of a Multipoint, Path, Ring, Polyline, Polygon, TriangleFan, TriangleStrip, or MultiPatch.
IPointCollection3	Provides access to members that manipulate the points of a Multipoint.
IPointCollection4	Provides access to members that manipulate the points of a Multipoint, Path, Ring, Polyline, Polygon, TriangleFan, TriangleStrip, or MultiPatch.
IPointIDAware	Indicator interface that identifies geometries that can have persistent point ID values attached to coordinates.
ISupportErrorInfo	Indicates whether a specific interface can return Automation error objects.
ITransform2D	Provides access to methods for transforming geometries using either specific parameters or arbitrary transformation objects (affine transformations, geographic transformations, etc.).
ITransform3D	Provides access to methods for transforming 3D geometries using either specific parameters or arbitrary transformation objects.
ITriangles	Indicator interface that identifies a Triangles patch.
IXMLSerialize (esriSystem)	Provides access to members that XML serialize and deserialize an object to/from XML.
IZAware	Indicator interface that identifies geometries that can have persistent Z values attached to their vertices.
