Detailed Description

The Geometry API supports the round-tripping of 2D and 2.5D geometries as well as the analysis of 2D geometries.

Creating geometries

Use an MgGeometryFactory object to create MgGeometry objects from coordinates. Click MgGeometryFactory to see a graphical overview of geometry creation.

Use an MgWktReaderWriter object to create MgGeometry objects from strings in AGF Text form.

Use an MgAgfReaderWriter object to translate MgGeometry objects into a form suitable for the creation of an MgGeometryProperty object for inserting into a datastore.

Click on the geometry class name to view sample creation code. The supported geometries are:
