GeometryService Intersect Polylines

DanielGarcia — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:43:55 GMT

Hello,

Do you know, why intersect method of geometry service, do not return any results, when input geometries and intersect geometry are polylines?

API Reference said:

"The intersect operation is performed on a geometry service resource. This operation constructs the set-theoretic intersection between an array of geometries and another geometry"

So I think that intersect polylines with other polylines must return intersection points, Don´t you think??

Is this a bug? or is this a product limit?

Thanks

Daniel

You can do this client side with esri.geometry.getLineIntersection. Here's an example:
