Clip geometry

Clip a geometry with another geometry.

Use case

Create a new set of geometries for analysis (e.g. displaying buffer zones around abandoned coal mine shafts in an area of planned urban development) by clipping intersecting geometries.

How to use the sample

Tap the button to clip the blue graphic with the dotted red envelopes.

How it works

1. Use the static GeometryEngine.clip(_:to:) method to generate a clipped Geometry, specifying an existing Geometry and an Envelope as parameters. The existing geometry will be clipped where it intersects an envelope.
2. Create a Graphic instance from the clipped geometry and add it to a GraphicsOverlay.

Relevant API

• Envelope
• Geometry
• GeometryEngine
• Graphic
• GraphicsOverlay
• static GeometryEngine.clip(_:to:)

Additional information

Note: the resulting geometry may be null if the envelope does not intersect the geometry being clipped.
