DK for ActiveX | TatukGIS_XDK11.ITGIS_Shape.ImportFromWKB | Methods | Properties

Replaces the current geometry by parsing Well-Known Binary (WKB) in place.

Available also on: Delphi | .NET | Java | Python.

// C#
public void ImportFromWKB(
  ref OleVariant _wkb
);

' VisualBasic
Public Sub ImportFromWKB(
  ByRef _wkb As OleVariant
)

// Oxygene
public
  procedure ImportFromWKB(
    var _wkb : OleVariant
  );

PURPOSE: Replaces the current shape geometry from WKB (Well-Known Binary), the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard binary representation for vector geometry.

BEHAVIOR: Parses the WKB content and updates this shape in place with the decoded geometry.

CONSTRAINTS: Existing geometry is overwritten. WKB does not carry CRS (Coordinate Reference System) metadata. Malformed input raises an exception.
