Overlaps Method—ArcGIS Pro

Returns true if geometry1 and geometry2 overlap.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public bool Overlaps( 
   Geometry geometry1,
   Geometry geometry2
)

Public Function Overlaps( _
   ByVal geometry1 As Geometry, _
   ByVal geometry2 As Geometry _
) As Boolean

Parameters

geometry1: The base geometry.
geometry2: The comparison geometry.

Return Value

True if if geometry1 and geometry2 overlap.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	Either geometry1 or geometry2 or both are null or empty.
System.NotImplementedException	The method is not implemented for GeometryBag.
System.InvalidOperationException	Incompatible spatial references between the input geometries.

Remarks

Two geometries overlap if the dimension of each is equal to the dimension of their intersection, but the intersection itself is not equal to either one.

GeometryEngine Overlaps

Example

MapPoint pt1 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.5, 1.5);
MapPoint pt2 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.25, 1.75);
MapPoint pt3 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(3, 1.5);
MapPoint pt4 = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.5, 2);

//
// point and point overlap
//
bool overlaps = GeometryEngine.Instance.Overlaps(pt1, pt2);        // overlaps = false
overlaps = GeometryEngine.Instance.Overlaps(pt1, pt1);             // overlaps = false
                                                                   // Two geometries overlap if the region of their intersection is of the same dimension as the geometries involved and 
                                                                   // is not equivalent to either of the geometries.  

List<MapPoint> pts = new List<MapPoint>();
pts.Add(pt1);
pts.Add(pt2);
pts.Add(pt3);

List<MapPoint> pts2 = new List<MapPoint>();
pts2.Add(pt2);
pts2.Add(pt3);
pts2.Add(pt4);

//
// pt and line overlap
//
Polyline polyline = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(pts);
bool isSimple = GeometryEngine.Instance.IsSimpleAsFeature(polyline);         // isSimple = true
overlaps = GeometryEngine.Instance.Overlaps(polyline, pt1);                  // overlaps = false

//
// line and line
//
Polyline polyline2 = PolylineBuilder.CreatePolyline(pts2);
isSimple = GeometryEngine.Instance.IsSimpleAsFeature(polyline2);             // isSimple = true
overlaps = GeometryEngine.Instance.Overlaps(polyline, polyline2);            // overlaps = true
