WktExportFlags Enumeration

In This Topic

Specifies the flags that control the behavior of the GeometryEngine.ExportToWKT method.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public Enum WktExportFlags 
   Inherits System.Enum
   Implements System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable, System.ISpanFormattable

public enum WktExportFlags : System.Enum, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable, System.ISpanFormattable

Members

Member	Description
WktExportDefaults	Exports the geometry as is based on its type. Attributes such as Z and M values are exported.
WktExportFailIfNotSimple	Throws an exception if the geometry is not topologically simple. Applies only to Polygon and Polyline geometry types.
WktExportLineString	Exports a MultiLineString with one LineString as a LineString.
WktExportMultiLineString	Exports a LineString as a MultiLineString
WktExportMultipoint	Exports a Point as a Multipoint.
WktExportMultiPolygon	Exports a Polygon as a MultiPolygon.
WktExportPoint	Exports a Multipoint with one Point as a Point.
WktExportPolygon	Exports a MultiPolygon with one Polygon as a Polygon.
WktExportStripMs	Removes M values from the exported shape.
WktExportStripZs	Removes Z values from the exported shape.
