ArcGIS Geometry Operations

Use this skill for creating geometries and performing spatial operations with geometry operators.

Important: The geometryEngine and geometryEngineAsync modules were removed in v5.0 (deprecated since 4.29). Use geometry operators exclusively.

      [-118.813, 34.022],
    ],
  ],
};

Polygon

const polygon = {
  type: "polygon",
  rings: [
    // Outer ring (clockwise)
    [
      [-118.818, 34.02],
      [-118.807, 34.02],
      [-118.807, 34.029],
      [-118.818, 34.029],
      [-118.818, 34.02],
    ],
    // Inner ring/hole (counter-clockwise)
    [
      [-118.815, 34.022],
      [-118.81, 34.022],
      [-118.81, 34.026],

  spatialReference: { wkid: 4326 },
};

Circle

import Circle from "@arcgis/core/geometry/Circle.js";

const circle = new Circle({
  center: [-118.80657, 34.02749],

    [-118.809, 34.01],
  ],
  spatialReference: { wkid: 4326 },
};

Geometry Operators

Each operator is imported individually for tree-shaking. Some operators require await operator.load() before use.

Buffer Operations

import bufferOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/bufferOperator.js";

await bufferOperator.load();

// Simple buffer (distance in meters by default)
const buffered = bufferOperator.execute(point, 1000);

// Buffer with unit
const buffered = bufferOperator.execute(point, 500, { unit: "meters" });

// Geodesic buffer (for geographic coordinates)
import geodesicBufferOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/geodesicBufferOperator.js";

await geodesicBufferOperator.load();
const geoBuffered = geodesicBufferOperator.execute(point, 1000, {
  unit: "meters",
});

Spatial Relationships

All relationship operators return a boolean.

import containsOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/containsOperator.js";
import withinOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/withinOperator.js";
import intersectsOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/intersectsOperator.js";
import crossesOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/crossesOperator.js";
import overlapsOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/overlapsOperator.js";
import touchesOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/touchesOperator.js";
import disjointOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/disjointOperator.js";
import equalsOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/equalsOperator.js";

// Contains - geometry1 completely contains geometry2
containsOperator.execute(polygon, point); // boolean

// Within - geometry1 is completely within geometry2
withinOperator.execute(point, polygon); // boolean

// Intersects - geometries share any space
intersectsOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2); // boolean

// Crosses, Overlaps, Touches, Disjoint, Equals
crossesOperator.execute(line, polygon);
overlapsOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);
touchesOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);
disjointOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);
equalsOperator.execute(geom1, geom2);

Set Operations

import unionOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/unionOperator.js";
import intersectionOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/intersectionOperator.js";
import differenceOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/differenceOperator.js";
import symmetricDifferenceOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/symmetricDifferenceOperator.js";
import clipOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/clipOperator.js";

// Union - combine geometries
const combined = unionOperator.execute([polygon1, polygon2, polygon3]);

// Intersection - common area
const common = intersectionOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);

// Difference - subtract geometry2 from geometry1
const diff = differenceOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);

// Symmetric Difference - areas in either but not both
const symDiff = symmetricDifferenceOperator.execute(polygon1, polygon2);

// Clip - clip geometry by extent
const clipped = clipOperator.execute(polygon, extent);

const geoArea = geodeticAreaOperator.execute(polygon, {
  unit: "square-kilometers",
});

// Length (polylines)
const length = lengthOperator.execute(polyline);

});

Geometry Manipulation

// Simplify - remove self-intersections
const simplified = simplifyOperator.execute(polygon);

// Generalize - reduce vertices
const generalized = generalizeOperator.execute(polyline, {
  maxDeviation: 100,
  unit: "meters",
});

// Densify - add vertices
const densified = densifyOperator.execute(polyline, {
  maxSegmentLength: 100,
  unit: "meters",
});

// Offset - create parallel geometry
const offsetGeom = offsetOperator.execute(polyline, {
  distance: 50,
  unit: "meters",
  joinType: "round",
});

// Convex Hull
const hull = convexHullOperator.execute(polygon);

// Centroid
const center = centroidOperator.execute(polygon);

// Label Point (guaranteed inside polygon)
const label = labelPointOperator.execute(polygon);

Available Operators

Projection (projectOperator)

import projectOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/projectOperator.js";

await projectOperator.load();

// Project to new spatial reference
const projected = projectOperator.execute(geometry, { wkid: 4326 });

// With geographic transformation
const projected = projectOperator.execute(
  geometry,
  { wkid: 4326 },
  {
    geographicTransformation: {
      steps: [{ wkid: 108190 }],
    },
  },
);

Web Mercator Utilities

import webMercatorUtils from "@arcgis/core/geometry/support/webMercatorUtils.js";

const webMercatorGeom =
  webMercatorUtils.geographicToWebMercator(geographicPoint);
const geoGeom = webMercatorUtils.webMercatorToGeographic(webMercatorPoint);
const canProject = webMercatorUtils.canProject(
  geom1.spatialReference,
  geom2.spatialReference,
);

Mesh (3D Geometry)

import Mesh from "@arcgis/core/geometry/Mesh.js";

const box = Mesh.createBox(location, {
  size: { width: 100, height: 100, depth: 50 },
  material: { color: "red" },
});

const sphere = Mesh.createSphere(location, {
  size: 50,
  material: { color: "blue" },
});

const cylinder = Mesh.createCylinder(location, {
  size: { width: 50, height: 100 },
  material: { color: "green" },
});

// Load from glTF/GLB
const mesh = await Mesh.createFromGLTF(location, "model.glb");

JSON Utilities

import jsonUtils from "@arcgis/core/geometry/support/jsonUtils.js";

// Create geometry from JSON
const geometry = jsonUtils.fromJSON({
  rings: [
    [
      [-118.8, 34.0],
      [-118.7, 34.0],
      [-118.7, 34.1],
      [-118.8, 34.1],
      [-118.8, 34.0],
    ],
  ],
  spatialReference: { wkid: 4326 },
});

// Get JSON from geometry
const json = geometry.toJSON();

Common Patterns

Check if Point is in Polygon

import containsOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/containsOperator.js";

function isPointInPolygon(point, polygon) {
  return containsOperator.execute(polygon, point);
}

Buffer and Query

import geodesicBufferOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/geodesicBufferOperator.js";

async function queryWithinDistance(point, distance, layer) {
  await geodesicBufferOperator.load();
  const bufferGeom = geodesicBufferOperator.execute(point, distance, {
    unit: "meters",
  });
  const query = layer.createQuery();
  query.geometry = bufferGeom;
  query.spatialRelationship = "contains";
  return await layer.queryFeatures(query);
}

Calculate Total Area

import unionOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/unionOperator.js";
import geodeticAreaOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/geodeticAreaOperator.js";

function calculateTotalArea(polygons) {
  const combined = unionOperator.execute(polygons);
  return geodeticAreaOperator.execute(combined, { unit: "square-kilometers" });
}

Common Pitfalls

1. Spatial reference mismatch: Always ensure geometries are in the same spatial reference before operations: import projectOperator from "@arcgis/core/geometry/operators/projectOperator.js"; await projectOperator.load(); if (!geom1.spatialReference.equals(geom2.spatialReference)) {geom2 = projectOperator.execute(geom2, geom1.spatialReference);}
2. Geodesic vs planar: Use geodesic operators for geographic coordinates (WGS84/4326). Use planar operators for projected coordinate systems: const bufferOp = geometry.spatialReference.isGeographic? geodesicBufferOperator: bufferOperator;
3. Ring orientation: Outer rings must be clockwise, holes counter-clockwise. Use simplifyOperator if unsure.
4. Self-intersecting polygons: Use simplifyOperator.execute(polygon) before operations on user-drawn polygons.
5. Forgetting to load operators: Some operators require await operator.load() before calling .execute(). Check operator documentation.
6. Using removed geometryEngine: The geometryEngine and geometryEngineAsync modules were removed in 5.0. Use individual operators instead.
