Description
The Calculate Length activity calculates the length of the input geometry.
Usage
You may need to calculate the length or perimeter of a geometry. You could take the geometry from a parcel feature and calculate its perimeter to estimate the length of a fence.
Inputs
Geometry |
Required Type: esri.Geometry (3.x, 4.x)* The input geometry whose length is to be calculated. |
Geodesic |
Optional Type: Boolean Determines whether the length to be calculated is geodesic. If not, the planar length is returned. The default is false. Note: geodesic only works with WGS84 (wkid: 4326) and Web Mercator spatial references. |
Unit |
Optional The measurement unit of the return value. Defaults to the units of the input geometry. Known values: meters | feet | kilometers | miles | nautical-miles | yards. |
* VertiGIS Studio Workflow uses different versions of Esri's ArcGIS API for JavaScript depending on the type of host application. See Underlying Technologies for information.
Outputs
length |
Type: Number The calculated length. |
Properties
