Method Equals

Equals(Geometry, Double)

Checks if two geometries are approximately same, within some tolerance.

Declaration

public bool Equals(Geometry geometryB, double tolerance)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Geometry	geometryB	The second geometry.
System.Double	tolerance	The tolerance.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if given geometries are equal within the tolerance; otherwise `false`.

Remarks

This function performs a lightweight comparison of two geometries that might be useful when writing test code. It uses the tolerance to compare each of x, y, and any other values the geometries possess (such as z or m) independently in the manner: abs(value1 - value2) <= tolerance. The single tolerance value is used even if the x, y, z or m units differ. This function does not respect modular arithmetic of spatial references which wrap around, so longitudes of -180 and +180 degrees are considered to differ by 360 degrees.

Returns true if the difference of each is within the tolerance and all other properties of the geometries are exactly equal (such as spatial reference and vertex count).

For topological equality, use a relational operator such as Equals(Geometry, Geometry).
