Cut a geometry along a polyline.

screenshot

Use case

You might cut a polygon representing a large parcel to subdivide it into smaller parcels.

How to use the sample

Click "Cut" to cut the polygon with the polyline and see the resulting parts (shaded in different colors).

How it works

  1. Pass the geometry and polyline to GeometryEngine::cut to cut the geometry along the polyline.
  2. Create a new Graphic for each in the list of cut geometries and add them to the GraphicsOverlay on the MapView.
