Method SymmetricDifference
SymmetricDifference(Geometry, Geometry)
Performs the Symmetric difference operation on the two geometries.
Declaration
public static Geometry SymmetricDifference(this Geometry geometry1, Geometry geometry2)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Geometry | geometry1 | is one of the Geometry instances in the XOR operation. |
| Geometry | geometry2 | is one of the Geometry instances in the XOR operation. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Geometry | Returns the result of the symmetric difference. The result has the higher of dimensions of the two geometries. |
Remarks
The "symmetric" difference means that you would be interested in obtaining those parts of the two input geometries that do not overlap.
The following is a visual illustration of two polygon geometries and how the output result would be from the GeometryEngine.SymmetricDifference operation:
If you desire to perform a more atomic-level difference operation where the spatial subtraction of two input geometries might look different if the order of the geometires were switched, consider using the Difference(Geometry, Geometry) method instead.
