IEnvelopeGEN.DefineFromPoints Method

Defines the envelope to cover all the points.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub DefineFromPoints ( _
    ByRef Points As IPoint[] _
)

[C#]
public void DefineFromPoints (
    ref IPoint[] Points
);

[C++]
HRESULT DefineFromPoints(
  Array* Points
);

[C++]

Parameters
Points 
  Points is a parameter of type Array

Product Availability

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

Description

Please see the DefineFromPoints method of IEnvelope for more details

[C#] 
//This example demonstrates how to use the IEnvelopeGEN.DefineFromPoints method.
//IEnvelopeGEN is used because C# does not support C-Style Arrays used in IEnvelope.DefineFromPoints
public void EnvelopeDefineFromPointExample()
{
  IPoint[] points=new IPoint[10];
  for(int i=0; i < 10; i++)
  {
    points[i]=new PointClass();
    points[i].PutCoords(i* 10, i * 5);
  }
  IEnvelopeGEN envelope=new EnvelopeClass();
  envelope.DefineFromPoints(ref points);

  String report="Envelope: \n" +
                   "LowerLeft  X=" + envelope.LowerLeft.X + "\n" +
                   "LowerLeft  Y=" + envelope.LowerLeft.Y + "\n\n" +
