Property Details
cacheObjectreadonly
The cache is used to store values computed from geometries that need to cleared or recomputed upon mutation. An example is the extent of a polygon. The default value is
null.declaredClassStringreadonly
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as
esri.folder.className.extentExtentreadonly
The extent of the geometry. For points, the extent is null.
hasMBoolean
Indicates if the geometry has M values.
hasZBoolean
Indicates if the geometry has Z (elevation) values.
Z-values defined in a geographic or metric coordinate system are expressed in meters. However, in local scenes that use a projected coordinate system, vertical units are assumed to be the same as the horizontal units specified by the service.
spatialReferenceSpatialReference autocast
The spatial reference of the geometry.
Default Value: WGS84 (wkid: 4326)typeStringreadonly
The geometry type.
Possible Values: point | multipoint | polyline | polygon | extent

Method Details
clone(){Geometry}
Creates a deep clone of the geometry.
Returns:Type Description Geometry A new instance of a Geometry object equal to the object used to call .clone().fromJSON(json){*}static
Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from a product in the ArcGIS platform. The object passed into the input
jsonparameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.Parameter:json ObjectA JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.
Returns:Type Description * Returns a new instance of this class. toJSON(){Object}
Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS Portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for more information.
Returns:Type Description Object The ArcGIS Portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
