A continuous 3D fan of triangles, where each triangle after the first shares an edge with the preceding triangle, and all triangles share a common pivot point.
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. |
| 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 (esriSystem) | |
| 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. |
| ITriangleFan | Indicator interface that identifies a triangle fan. |
| 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. |
