Geometry Class | ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt

Detailed Description

Geometry is the base class for two-dimensional (x,y) and three-dimensional (x,y,z) geometries, such as Point, Multipoint, Polyline, Polygon, and Envelope. It represents real-world objects by defining a shape at a specific geographic location, and is used throughout the API to represent the shapes of features and graphics, layer extents, viewpoints, and GPS locations. It is also used to define the inputs and outputs for spatial analysis and geoprocessing operations, and to measure distances and areas.

All types of geometry have the following characteristics:

Immutability

Most geometries are created and not changed for their lifetime. Examples include features created to be stored in a geodatabase or read from a non-editable layer, and features returned from tasks such as a spatial query, geocode operation, network trace, or geoprocessing task. Immutable geometries (geometries that cannot be changed) offer important benefits to your app. They are inherently thread-safe, help prevent inadvertent changes, and allow for certain performance optimizations.

If you want to modify the shape of a Geometry, there are two options available:

Note that the GeometryEngine offers a range of topological and spatial transformations that can create a new geometry from an existing geometry. The GeometryEngine allows you to perform actions on an existing geometry, such as a buffer, cut, clip, densify, or project, to produce a new output geometry. See GeometryEngine to explore various supported geometric operations.

Coordinate units

The coordinates that define a geometry are only meaningful in the context of the geometry's SpatialReference. The vertices and spatial reference together allow your app to translate a real-world object from its location on the Earth to its location on your map or scene.

In some cases, a geometry's spatial reference may not be set. For example, a Graphic that does not have a spatial reference is drawn using the same spatial reference as the GeoView to which it was added. If the coordinates are in a different spatial reference, the graphics may not display in the correct location, or at all.

When using GeometryBuilder to create a Polyline or Polygon from a collection of Point, you don't need to set the spatial reference of every point before you add it to the builder, as it is assigned the spatial reference of the builder itself. In most other cases, such as when using a geometry in geometry operations or when editing a feature table, spatialReference must be set.

Spatial reference and projection

Changing the coordinates of a geometry to have the same shape and location represented using a different SpatialReference is known as "projection" or sometimes as "reprojection". Because geometries are immutable, they do not have any member methods that project, transform, or otherwise modify their content.

Type casting and working with specific geometry types

Many API methods return a generic Geometry object. To work with a specific geometry type (such as Point, Polyline, or Polygon), use the geometry_cast helper to safely cast the base Geometry to the desired type.

Relevant samples:

Member Function Documentation Geometry::Geometry()

Default constructor. Creates an empty Geometry.

Geometry::Geometry(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &other)

Copy constructor from other Geometry.

[noexcept] Geometry::Geometry(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &&other)

Move constructor from other Geometry.

[override virtual noexcept] Geometry::~Geometry()

Destructor.

Esri::ArcGISRuntime::GeometryDimension Geometry::dimension() const

Returns the dimensionality of a Geometry, relating to the number of spatial dimensions in which the geometry may have a size.

You can use dimension to work out what kind of symbol can be applied to a specific type of geometry. For example, Point and Multipoint are both zero-dimensional point geometries, and both can be displayed using a type of MarkerSymbol. Polygon and Envelope are both 2-dimensional area geometries that can be displayed using a type of FillSymbol.

Returns GeometryDimension::Unknown if an error occurs.

bool Geometry::equalsWithTolerance(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &other, double tolerance) const

Returns true if two geometries are approximately the same within the given tolerance.

This function performs a lightweight comparison of two geometries that might be useful when writing test code. It uses the tolerance to compare each of x, y, and any other values the geometries possess (such as z or m) independently in the manner: abs(value1 - value2) <= tolerance. The single tolerance value is used even if the x, y, z or m units differ. This function does not respect modular arithmetic of spatial references which wrap around, so longitudes of -180 and +180 degrees are considered to differ by 360 degrees.

Returns true if the difference of each is within the tolerance and all other properties of the geometries are exactly equal (such as spatial reference and vertex count). Returns false if an error occurs.

For topological equality, use a relational operator such as GeometryEngine::equals(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry&, const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry&).

Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Envelope Geometry::extent() const

Returns the minimum enclosing bounding-box (or Envelope) that covers the geometry.

[static] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry Geometry::fromJson(const QString &json)

Converts a JSON string to an object.

[static, since 200.7] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry Geometry::fromJson(const QString &json, const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::SpatialReference &spatialReference)

Converts a JSON string to an object.

Geometry can be serialized and de-serialized to and from JSON. The ArcGIS REST API documentation describes the JSON representation of geometry objects. You can use this encoding and decoding mechanism to exchange geometries with REST Web services or to store them in text files.

This function was introduced in Qt 200.7.

Esri::ArcGISRuntime::GeometryType Geometry::geometryType() const

Returns the type of geometry.

This indicates the type of geometrical shape it can represent, such as Envelope, Point or Polygon.

Returns GeometryType::Unknown if an error occurs.

bool Geometry::hasCurves() const

Returns true if this geometry contains curve segments, false otherwise.

ArcGIS software supports polygon and polyline geometries that contain curve segments, sometimes known as true curves or nonlinear segments). Curves may be present in certain types of data, such as Mobile Map Packages (MMPK) or geometry JSON. When connecting to ArcGIS feature services that support curves (see ArcGISFeatureServiceInfo::isSupportsTrueCurve), this API retrieves densified versions of curve feature geometries by default.

If a polygon or polyline geometry contains curve segments, this property returns true. You can use curve segments when using a MultipartBuilder to create or edit polygon and polyline geometries, and also get curve segments when iterating through the segments of existing Multipart geometries when this property returns true. You can also choose to return true curves from feature services by using ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment::serviceCurveGeometryMode.

See also GeometryBuilder::hasCurves, ImmutablePart::hasCurves, CubicBezierSegment, and EllipticArcSegment.

bool Geometry::hasM() const

Returns true if the geometry has m values (measure values), false otherwise.

M is a vertex value that is stored with the geometry. These values typically represent non-spatial measurements or attributes.

bool Geometry::hasZ() const

Returns true if the geometry has z-coordinate values, false otherwise.

Only 3D geometries contain z-coordinate values. These values typically represent elevation, height, or depth.

bool Geometry::isEmpty() const

Returns true if the geometry is empty, false otherwise.

A geometry is empty if it does not have valid geographic coordinates, even if the SpatialReference is specified. An empty Geometry is a valid object that has no location in space.

Esri::ArcGISRuntime::SpatialReference Geometry::spatialReference() const

Returns the spatial reference for this geometry.

This can be empty if the geometry is not associated with a SpatialReference.

[override virtual] QString Geometry::toJson() const

Reimplements: JsonSerializable::toJson() const.

Converts a geometry into an ArcGIS JSON string geometry representation.

Returns this Geometry represented as a JSON String.

[since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 200.2] bool Geometry::operator!=(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &other) const

Inequality operator. Returns true if this object and other are not equal.

This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 200.2.

See also Geometry::operator==.

[noexcept] Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &Geometry::operator=(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &&other)

Move operator from other Geometry.

Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &Geometry::operator=(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &other)

Assignment operator from other Geometry.

bool Geometry::operator==(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry &other) const

Returns true if two geometries are exactly equal. The types of geometry, order of points, all values, and the SpatialReference must all be equal.

This method provides a strict comparison of two geometries to ensure that they are identical. For a slightly more relaxed comparison (one that does not take coordinate order into account), use GeometryEngine::equals(const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry&, const Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Geometry&).
