AreaBaseShape

Namespace: ThinkGeo.Core

This abstract class is the root of all area-based shapes, such as RectangleShape and PolygonShape.

public abstract class AreaBaseShape : BaseShape

Inheritance Object → BaseShape → AreaBaseShape

Remarks:

This class is used as the base class for area shapes such as:

PolygonShape
RectangleShape

It can be inherited from to create your own specialized area geometry. If you choose to do this, your new class must conform to one of the well-known text standard shapes in order for the base implementations to work properly.

Properties

Id

The id of the shape.

public string Id { get; set; }

Property Value

String

Tag
