Method Simplify

Simplify(Geometry)

Simplifies the given geometry to make it topologically consistent according to its geometry type.

Declaration
public static Geometry Simplify(this Geometry geometry)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Geometry geometry

The geometry to be simplified.

Returns
Type Description
Geometry

The simplified geometry.

Remarks

This method rectifies polygons that may be self-intersecting or contain incorrect ring orientations.

Geometries must be topologically correct to perform topological operations. Polygons that are self-intersecting or that have inconsistent ring orientations may produce inaccurate results. To ensure that polygons constructed or modified programmatically are topologically consistent it's best to simplify their geometry using this method. Geometries returned by ArcGIS Server services are always topologically correct.

Supports true curves.
