AGSPolylineBuilder Class Reference

Description

A builder to build polyline geometries.

Instances of this class represent a builder that can build polyline geometries. Polyline geometries are immutable, they cannot be modified after they are created. Use builders to create new geometries either from scratch, or by using an existing geometry as a starting off point. Modifications made through the builder affect only its own internal copy of the geometry. They do not affect the original geometry.

builderWithGeometry:

+ (AGSGeometryBuilder*) builderWithGeometry:

(nullable AGSGeometry *)

geometry

Factory method to create a geometry builder from a geometry.

Parameters

geometry

The geometry to be used as the starting point for further modifications.

Since

AGSGeometryBuilder::hasCurves

builderWithGeometryType:spatialReference:

+ (AGSGeometryBuilder*) builderWithGeometryType:		(AGSGeometryType)	geometryType
spatialReference:		(nullable AGSSpatialReference *)	sr

Factory method to create a geometry builder from a geometry type and spatial reference.

Prior to v100.12, only geometries without curves could be used. Passing in a geometry where AGSGeometry::hasCurves is YES would fail to replace the geometry.

From v100.12, geometries with curves are supported.

Parameters

geometryType	The type of geometry to be constructed.
sr	The spatial reference for the geometry to be constructed.

AGSGeometryBuilder::hasCurves

initWithPoints:

- (instancetype) initWithPoints:

(NSArray< AGSPoint * > *)

points

Initializes a polyline builder.

Parameters

points

for the geometry to be constructed

Since

100

initWithPolyline:

- (instancetype) initWithPolyline:

(nullable AGSPolyline *)

polyline

Creates a polyline builder.

Prior to v100.12, only polylines without curves could be used. Passing in a polygon where AGSGeometry::hasCurves is YES would throw an exception.

From v100.12, polylines with curves are supported.

Parameters

polyline

The geometry to be used as the starting point for further modifications. Can be nil.

initWithSpatialReference:

- (instancetype) initWithSpatialReference:

sr

Initializes a builder.

Parameters

sr	The spatial reference for the geometry to be constructed

Since

isEmpty

- (BOOL) isEmpty

Indicates whether the builder's geometry is empty.

Returns

If the geometry is empty.

polylineBuilderWithPoints:

Parameters

polylineBuilderWithPolyline:

+ (instancetype) polylineBuilderWithPolyline:

(nullable AGSPolyline *)

polyline

Creates a polyline builder.

Prior to v100.12, only polylines without curves could be used; passing in a polygon where AGSGeometry::hasCurves is YES would throw an exception.

From v100.12, polylines with curves are supported.

Parameters

polyline

sr

Initializes a builder.

Parameters

sr	The spatial reference for the geometry to be constructed

Since

replaceGeometry: [1/2]

- (instancetype) replaceGeometry:

(nullable AGSGeometry *)

geometry

Replaces the builder's geometry with the provided one.

This does not update the spatial reference of the builder. If the geometry is nil, the builder is cleared.

Prior to v100.12, only geometries without curves could be used. Passing in a geometry where AGSGeometry::hasCurves is YES would fail to replace the geometry.

From v100.12, geometries with curves are supported.

Parameters

geometry

The geometry object to replace with.

Returns

The builder so you can easily chain method calls.

Since

replaceGeometry: [2/2]

Parameters

geometry

- (AGSPolyline*) toGeometry

Returns the polyline geometry this builder is constructing or modifying.

Returns

extent

- (AGSEnvelope*) extent

AGSGeometry::extent

geometryType

- (AGSGeometryType) geometryType

readnonatomicassigninherited

The type of geometry the builder will construct or modify.

Since

hasCurves

- (BOOL) hasCurves

readnonatomicassigninherited

A value indicating whether the geometry builder currently contains any curve segments.

The ArcGIS Platform supports polygon and polyline geometries that contain curve segments (where AGSSegment::curve is YES, sometimes known as true curves or nonlinear segments). Curves may be present in certain types of data - for example Mobile Map Packages (MMPKs), or geometry JSON.

Prior to v100.12, only AGSLineSegment instances were supported when creating new geometries using an AGSMultipartBuilder. Attempting to add curve geometries to an AGSMultipartBuilder would cause an error.

From v100.12, you can use curves in an AGSMultipartBuilder. New segment types AGSCubicBezierSegment and AGSEllipticArcSegment represent different types of curve that can be added to polygon and polyline geometries.

The parts of the builder's geometry. Can be iterated through a for-in loop.

}

Since

spatialReference

- (AGSSpatialReference*) spatialReference

readnonatomicstronginherited

The spatial reference associated with the builder's gometry. It specifies the coordinate system for the geometry's x, y, and z coordinate values.

Since

100

Note

Geometries that represent geographic locations should always have a spatial reference. Otherwise the coordinates of the geometry are meaningless.
