[mapguide-users] is there an easy api way toaccess@fdo:geometricTypes

[Walt Welton-Lair]

The geometry type is a bit-masked flag.  7 = 1 + 2 + 4, so your class
supports Point, Curve, and Surface geometry types.

Thanks Rex,

I got that far, but i got a 7 back which isn't listed here.
http://mapguide.osgeo.org/files/mapguide/docs/webapi/d2/dc2/class_mg_fea
ture_geometric_type.html

looking at the FDO api
http://fdo.osgeo.org/files/fdo/docs/FDO_API/d1/d95/_geometry_type_8h-sou
rce.htm

look more promising, but i'm still not quite at the 'point curve
surface' result i'm looking for

any pointers?
