IGeometryBridge Interface

Provides access to a set of generic methods that can be used in all languages supported. Note: the IGeometryBridge interface has been superseded by IGeometryBridge2. Please consider using the more recent version.

Description

The IGeometryBridge methods can be used with any supported development languages: Java, C#, VB.Net, VB 6.0, C++, etc... The methods on the regular interfaces (IGeometryCollection, ISegmentCollection, IPointCollection, etc) are using C style arrays, which are not supported by some languages; the IGeometryBridge interface is there to solve that problem allowing to pass safe arrays instead.

Members

	Name	Description
	AddGeometries	Adds references to the specified geometries.
	AddPoints	Adds copies of the input points as vertices to this Path, Ring, Polyline, or Polygon; or references to the input points to this Multipoint, Triangles, TriangleFan, or TriangleStrip.
	AddSegments	Adds references to segments.
	AddWKSPointZs	Adds vertices/points to this Path, Ring, Polyline, Polygon, Multipoint, Triangles, TriangleFan, TriangleStrip, or MultiPatch.
	ConstructBuffers	Constructs a set of buffers at various distances. More efficient than calling Buffer repeatedly on the same geometry.
	Densify	Densify segment into the specified number of smaller segments.
	GetPoints	Populates an array with references to points in the Multipoint. The QueryPoints method on IPointCollection makes copies of the points.
	InsertGeometries	Inserts at the specified index references to some number of geometries in the input array.
	InsertPoints	Inserts copies of the input points as vertices into a Path, Ring, Polyline, or Polygon; or references to the input points into a Multipoint, Triangles, TriangleFan, or TriangleStrip.
	InsertSegments	Inserts references to the input segments.
	InsertWKSPointZs	Inserts new vertices/points into this Path, Ring, Polyline, Polygon, Multipoint, Triangles, TriangleFan, TriangleStrip, or MultiPatch.
	QueryBeginningRings	Populates an array with references to all beginning rings of the specified types.
	QueryFollowingRings	Populates an array with references to following rings that are in the ring group that starts with the specified beginning ring.
	QueryGeometries	Populates the array with references to a sub-sequence of geometries.
	QueryPoints	Copies some points to an existing array of points.
	QuerySegments	Returns references to some of the input segments.
	QueryWKSPointZs	Copies vertices/points coordinates to the array of point structures.
	ReplacePoints	Replaces vertices/points within a PointCollection.
	ReplaceSegments	Removes and inserts from segments.
	SetGeometries	Replaces all geometries in the collection with the specified number of references to those in the input array.
	SetPoints	Replaces all existing vertices of this Path, Ring, Polyline, or Polygon with copies of the input points; or all existing points of this Multipoint, Triangles, TriangleFan, or TriangleStrip with references to the input points.
	SetSegments	Replaces all segments with references to the input segments.
	SetWKSPointZs	Replaces all vertices/points of this Path, Ring, Polyline, Polygon, Multipoint, Triangles, TriangleFan, TriangleStrip, or MultiPatch with new ones.
