Class MapPoint
Represents a location defined by x and y (and optionally z) coordinates.
Namespace: Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Geometry
Assembly: Esri.ArcGISRuntime.dll
Syntax
public class MapPoint : GeometryRemarks
Map point geometries represent discrete locations or entities, such as a geocoded house address, the location of a water meter in a water utility network, or a moving vehicle. Larger geographic entities (such as cities) are often represented as map points on small-scale maps. Map points can be used as the geometry of features and graphics and are often used to construct more complex geometries. They are also used in a Viewpoint to define the center of the display.
Map points store a single set of x,y coordinates that define a location (longitude and latitude, for example), and a SpatialReference. Map points can optionally have a z-value (commonly used to describe elevation or altitude) and an m-value (commonly used for measurement relative to the geometry).
For map points defined with a geographic spatial reference, the x-coordinate is the longitude (east or west), and the y-coordinate is the latitude (north or south). When geographic coordinates are represented in strings, they are generally written using the form "(latitude, longitude)", where the y-coordinate comes before the x-coordinate. Latitude values south of the equator and longitude values west of the prime meridian are expressed as negative numbers.
Use CoordinateFormatter to convert a latitude and longitude formatted string directly to a map point. The coordinate formatter can also return a latitude and longitude formatted string from an existing map point. Other coordinate notations, such as Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and United States National Grid (USNG) are also supported.
Map points are based upon the parent Geometry class. The geometry class is immutable which means that you can not change its shape once it is created. If you need to modify a map point once it has been created, use the MapPointBuilder class instead. The ToGeometry() method provides you with the map point object.
