Interface IGeometryBag

All Superinterfaces:

IGeometry, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

GeometryBag, IGeometryBagProxy

public interface IGeometryBag

extends IGeometry, java.io.Serializable

Provides access to members that identify a geometry bag.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Description

A GeometryBag is a heterogeneous collection of references to objects that support the IGeometry interface. Operations on GeometryBags that depend upon a specific interface require that all geometries within the Bag support that interface. Otherwise, an error will be returned. (ex. To Buffer the elements of a GeometryBag using the ITopologicalOperator, only geometries that support ITopologicalOperator can be collected in the Bag.)

When adding elements to a GeometryBag, keep in mind that the elements acquire the spatial reference of the bag. If the spatial reference of the bag is nil, for example, and the element references a well-defined spatial reference, then the element will lose that reference when it is added to the bag.

Method Summary
