GridGenerator.Rectangles Property
Gets or sets a value that decides whether rectangular polygons between the grid lines shall be generated.
Syntax
public System.Boolean Rectangles { get; set; }Property Value
Default: false
A value that decides whether rectangular polygon features between the grid lines shall be generated.
Remarks
If this property is True, the grid generator will create rectangular polygon features between the grid lines. These will get the attributes:
left, a string or a double, containing the same value as the ValueAttribute of the vertical grid line on the left edge of the rectangle.
bottom, a string or a double, containing the same value as the ValueAttribute of the horizontal grid line on the bottom edge of the rectangle.
left_bottom, a string containing the left and bottom attributes separated by an underscore character. (If the left and bottom attributes are numbers, they are first converted to strings).
width, an integer. The width in pixels of the rectangular feature, if it were clipped to the view area.
height, an integer. The height in pixels of a rectangular feature, if it were clipped to the view area.
The rectangular polygons will not really be clipped, but you may want to use PointVisualizer.ClipToViewArea = True.
A grid generator with Rectangles = True can be useful if you want to create an alphanumeric grid for which there is no special generator, for example the Maidenhead Locator System or the US Civil Air Patrol Grid, since you can generate alphanumeric labels for the rectangles by manipulating the left and bottom attributes. But note that there are special generators for the MGRS grid (UtmGridGenerator), for the GARS grid (GarsGridGenerator) and for the GEOREF grid (GeorefGridGenerator).
