CartographicOffset Property (ElevationTypeDefinition)

In This Topic

Gets or sets the cartographic offset value.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public Property CartographicOffset As Nullable(Of Double)

public Nullable<double> CartographicOffset {get; set;}

Remarks

The cartographic offset vertically adjusts the z-value of the entire layer. This raises or lowers all features in the layer by a given height. It can be applied to all LayerElevationType values.

Example

Set Elevation Mode for a layer

{
    //Note: needs to be called on the MCT
    ElevationTypeDefinition elevationTypeDefinition = featureLayer.GetElevationTypeDefinition();
    elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.OnGround;
    //elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.RelativeToGround;
    //elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.RelativeToScene;
    //elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.AtAbsoluteHeight;
    //..so on.
    //Optional: Specify the cartographic offset
    elevationTypeDefinition.CartographicOffset = 1000;
    //Optional: Specify the VerticalExaggeration
    elevationTypeDefinition.VerticalExaggeration = 2;
    if (featureLayer.CanSetElevationTypeDefinition(elevationTypeDefinition))
        featureLayer.SetElevationTypeDefinition(elevationTypeDefinition);
}
