IGeometry3 Interface

Provides rapid access to a geometry's extent in the x-y plane.

Members

Name Description
Read-only property Dimension The topological dimension of this geometry.
Read-only property Envelope Creates a copy of this geometry's envelope and returns it.
Read-only property GeometryType The type of this geometry.
Method GeoNormalize Shifts longitudes, if need be, into a continuous range of 360 degrees.
Method GeoNormalizeFromLongitude Normalizes longitudes into a continuous range containing the longitude. This method is obsolete.
Read-only property IsEmpty Indicates whether this geometry contains any points.
Method Project Projects this geometry into a new spatial reference.
Method ProjectEx Projects a geometry, optionally applies a GeoTransformation, and optionally densifies the geometry.
Method QueryEnvelope Copies this geometry's envelope properties into the specified envelope.
Method QueryWKSEnvelope Defines the specified wksenvelope to be the current extent of this geometry in the x-y plane.
Method SetEmpty Removes all points from this geometry.
Method SnapToSpatialReference Moves points of this geometry so that they can be represented in the precision of the geometry's associated spatial reference system.
Read/write property SpatialReference The spatial reference associated with this geometry.

IGeometry3.QueryWKSEnvelope Method

Defines the specified wksenvelope to be the current extent of this geometry in the x-y plane.

Public Sub QueryWKSEnvelope ( _
    ByRef e As WKSEnvelope _
)
public void QueryWKSEnvelope (
    ref WKSEnvelope e
);

Description

The QueryWKSEnvelope method returns a WKSEnvelope structure corresponding to the envelope of the geometry. Use that method to quickly get the XMin, XMax, YMin and YMax values.

//This example demonstrates how to use the QueryWKSEnvelope method

    private void QueryWKSEnvelope_Example()

    {

        IGeometry3 geometry = CreateRectanglePolygon() as IGeometry3;

        WKSEnvelope wksEnvelope = new WKSEnvelope();

        geometry.QueryWKSEnvelope(out wksEnvelope);

        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax: " + wksEnvelope.XMin + " , " + wksEnvelope.XMax + " , " + wksEnvelope.YMin + " , " + wksEnvelope.YMax);

    }

    private IPolygon CreateRectanglePolygon()

    {

        IEnvelope envelope = new EnvelopeClass();

        envelope.PutCoords(0, 0, 20, 20);

        ISegmentCollection segmentCollection = new PolygonClass();

        segmentCollection.SetRectangle(envelope);

        return segmentCollection as IPolygon;

    }
