How to move the center (centroid) of a circle

DaveLewis73

Is there any way to move the center (centroid) of a circle/polygon to a new X/Y on the map, such as the current mouse location? 

I have a solution that I found at https://csharp.hotexamples.com/examples/-/PolygonBuilder/-/php-polygonbuilder-class-examples.html under example #5 (CreateSearchPolygon), but unfortunately this causes too much overhead on the mouse move event that I am using.  There is a good amount of asynchronous code that is running, which causes major slow downs.  With that being said, there must be a simple solution that simply gets the new mouse point and moves the circle/polygon to that location.  It seems like an easy thing to do and should remove the need for any asynchronous code.  I just don't know what that solution would be. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have devised a solution for this problem with the assistance of the Esri ArcGIS Pro SDK team. I am utilizing the GeometryEngine.Instance.Move method on the polygon along with a delta X and delta Y coordinate.  The previous mouse point X/Y is subtracted from the current mouse point X/Y.  This creates the delta that is needed to move the centroid of the polygon to the correct location.  The following is the necessary code:

    MapPoint screenMapPt = MapView.Active.ScreenToMap(new Point(e.X, e.Y));
    MapPoint prevPt = MapView.Active.ScreenToMap(new Point(_prevX, _prevY));

    ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.Geometry buffer = GeometryEngine.Instance.Move(_graphics[i].Polygon, (screenMapPt.X - prevPt.X), (screenMapPt.Y - prevPt.Y));
    _graphics[i].Polygon = (Polygon)buffer;

The code is still a little bit laggy, since it all happens on the mouse move event, but it is faster than the previous option of creating a GeodesicBuffer.

Thanks again to the Esri ArcGIS Pro SDK team.
