Calculate Geometry Difference Activity

Description

Calculates the difference of two geometries.

Usage

You may need to find the difference between two geometries. You could find the difference in geometries and then use the Calculate Area or Calculate Length activity to find out how much larger one geometry is than the other.

Inputs

Geometry

Required

Type: esri.Geometry (3.x, 4.x)* | esri.Geometry[] (3.x, 4.x)*

The input geometry to subtract from.

Subtractor

Optional

Type: esri.Geometry (3.x, 4.x)*

The geometry being subtracted from inclusion.

Symmetric

Optional

Type: Boolean

Whether the difference is symmetric or not. If true, the symmetric difference between leftGeometry and rightGeometry is returned. Otherwise, rightGeometry is subtracted from leftGeometry.

Outputs

geometry

Type: esri.Geometry (3.x, 4.x)*

The first difference result.
