declaredClassStringreadonly inherited

Since: ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.7

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

geometries1Geometry[]

The first array of geometries to compute the relation. The structure of each geometry in the array is same as the structure of the json geometry objects returned by the ArcGIS REST API.

geometries2Geometry[]

The second array of geometries to compute the relation. The structure of each geometry in the array is same as the structure of the json geometry objects returned by the ArcGIS REST API.

relationString

The spatial relationship to be tested between the two input geometry arrays. See table below for a list of possible values. If the relation is specified as relation, the relationParamater parameter describes the spatial relationship and must be specified.

Value	Description
cross	Two polylines cross if they share only points in common, at least one of which is not an endpoint. A polyline and an polygon cross if they share a polyline in common on the interior of the polygon which is not equivalent to the entire polyline. Cross is a Clementini operator. If either one of the geometries is empty, the geometries do not cross.
disjoint	Two geometries are disjoint if their intersection is empty. Two geometries intersect if disjoint is "false".
in	The base geometry is within the comparison geometry if the base geometry is the intersection of the geometries and the intersection of their interiors is not empty. An empty geometry is within another geometry, unless the other geometry is empty.
interior-intersection	Geometries intersect excluding boundary touch.
intersection	Geometry interiors intersect or boundaries touch, same as 'not disjoint'.
line-coincidence	The boundaries of the geometries must share an intersection, but the relationship between the interiors of the shapes is not considered (they could overlap, one could be contained in the other, or their interiors could be disjoint). This relation applies to polylines and polygons.
line-touch	Two geometries are said to touch when the intersection of the geometries is non-empty, but the intersection of their interiors is empty. This evaluates if the touch occurs along a boundary (not a point). Valid for polygons.
overlap	Two polylines share a common sub-line, or two polygons share a common sub-area. Two geometries do not overlap if either one is empty.
point-touch	Two geometries are said to touch when the intersection of the geometries is non-empty, but the intersection of their interiors is empty. This evaluates if the touch occurs at a point (not a boundary).
relation	Allows specification of any relationship defined using the Shape Comparison Language. If this value is used, a value for relationParameter must be specified.
touch	The union of point touch and line touch. Two geometries are said to touch when the intersection of the geometries is non-empty, but the intersection of their interiors is empty. For example, a point touches a polyline only if the point is coincident with one of the polyline end points. If either one of the two geometries is empty, the geometries are not touched.
within	Same as in but also allows polylines that are strictly on the boundaries of polygons to be considered in the polygon.

relationParameterString

The string describes the spatial relationship to be tested when RelationParameters.relation = 'relation'. The Relational functions for ST_Geometry topic has additional details. An example of a valid string is: FFFTTT**. Also see the description of geometryEngine.relate() for additional examples of valid strings.
