MultipointClass

An ordered collection of points; optionally has measure, height and ID attributes.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Extended Error Information

Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.

Interfaces

Interfaces Description
IClone (esriSystem) Provides access to members that control cloning of objects.
IConstructMultipoint Provides access to members that construct multiple points using other geometries and values.
IGeometry Provides access to members that describe properties and behavior of all geometric objects.

IRelationalOperator3D2 Provides access to members that determine if a certain spatial relationship exists between two geometries with Zs.
ISpatialIndex Provides access to members that create a temporary spatial index for improving performance of "Disjoint" and some other relational operators.
ISupportErrorInfo (esriSystem)
ITopologicalOperator Provides access to members for constructing new geometries based upon topological relationships between existing geometries.

IXMLSerialize (esriSystem) Provides access to members that XML serialize and deserialize an object to/from XML.
IZ Provides access to members that identify geometric objects that can have 3D coordinates and defines operations on such objects.
IZ2 Provides access to additional members that identify geometric objects that can have 3D coordinates and defines operations on such objects.
IZAware Indicator interface that identifies geometries that can have persistent Z values attached to their vertices.
IZCollection Provides access to operations on Z-aware geometries.

Remarks

Note: The order of the points and their number can be modified by ITopologicalOperator::Simplify. Simplify sorts the points by X and Y and removes duplicate.
