change polygon size?

[SangamLama]

Hi all,
how can I change the size of a polygon? I need to be able to increase/decrease it by user entered feet size. In case of a simple square/rectangle, I just add the entered value to XMax, XMin, YMax and YMin, but I'm not sure how I can do that with weird shaped polygons?

Thanks,

yeah this is pretty bizzare. At least in case of the right polygon, I think what's happening is it's carrying out the projection by drawing numerous triangles and rectangles, but I gave the Simplify property of OffsetParameters as true, so that it would return final outcome only. That should have returned something simple.

I'd appreciate if someone had more insight on this as it's a bit urgent.

Thanks!

Don't know the reason for that... may be some one can answer it

Can you share the polygon data you are using to try it out

one thing now I'm curious about -- my map's measurements are in esriFeet unit. Is it the same as LinearUnit.Foot? I gave OffsetDistance value to be 250, but wasnt sure if those two units were the same..

Now, when you say polygon data, do you mean the following bit?

left buffer polygon:

{ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polygon}
    [ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polygon]: {ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polygon}
    Extent: {1316977.40735295,281673.494292154,1317969.73234739,282601.656984727}
    SpatialReference: {ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.SpatialReference}

{ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.SpatialReference}
    WKID: 2285
    WKT: null

right buffer polygon:

{ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polygon}
    [ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polygon]: {ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polygon}
    Extent: {1316566.86195633,278576.146840706,1317519.07831775,281886.679216881}
    SpatialReference: {ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.SpatialReference}

{ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.SpatialReference}
    WKID: 2285
    WKT: null
