ArcObjects Library Reference (Geometry)  

IEnvelope.ExpandZ Method

Moves the Z attribute of the sides toward or away from each other.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub ExpandZ ( _
    ByVal dz As Double, _
    ByVal asRatio As Boolean _
)
[C#]
public void ExpandZ (
    double dz,
    bool asRatio
);
[C++]
HRESULT ExpandZ(
  double dz,
  VARIANT_BOOL asRatio
);
[C++]

Parameters dz
dz is a parameter of type double asRatio
asRatio is a parameter of type bool

Product Availability

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

Description

ExpandZ scales the Z attributes of the Envelope.  If asRatio=FALSE, the scaling is additive (ZMin=ZMin - dz, ZMax=ZMax + dz).  If asRatio=TRUE, the scaling is multiplicative (ZMin=ZMin - dz*Depth/2, ZMax=ZMax + dz*Depth/2)

[C#]

 

        public static void TestExpandZ()

        {

            const double ScaleFactor=1.986;

 

            IEnvelope2 envelope=GetEnvelopeGeometry() as IEnvelope2;

 

            double beforeXMin, beforeXMax, beforeYMin, beforeYMax;

            envelope.QueryCoords(out beforeXMin, out beforeYMin, out beforeXMax, out beforeYMax);

 

            double beforeZMin, beforeZMax;

            envelope.QueryZCoords(out beforeZMin, out beforeZMax);

 

            envelope.ExpandZ(ScaleFactor, true);

 

            double afterXMin, afterXMax, afterYMin, afterYMax;

            envelope.QueryCoords(out afterXMin, out afterYMin, out afterXMax, out afterYMax);

 

            double afterZMin, afterZMax;

            envelope.QueryZCoords(out afterZMin, out afterZMax);

 

            //beforeXMin=-8.604

            //beforeXMax=1.396

            //beforeYMin=-12.117

            //beforeYMax=-2.117

            //beforeZMin=-12.902

            //beforeZMax=-2.902

 

            //afterXMin=-8.604

            //afterXMax=1.396

            //afterYMin=-12.117

            //afterYMax=-2.117

            //afterZMin=-17.829

            //afterZMax=2.026
