I'm using the ESRI Geometry Java API https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java
I want to construct an envelope and see if it contains certain points. It's possible the envelope crosses the International date line.
Here is some sample code I've tried:
double lon = Double.parseDouble("179.99");
double lat = Double.parseDouble("0");
Point pt = new Point(lon, lat);
double minlon = Double.parseDouble("170");
double minlat = Double.parseDouble("-20");
double maxlon = Double.parseDouble("-170");
double maxlat = Double.parseDouble("20");
Envelope ev = new Envelope(minlon, minlat, maxlon, maxlat);
SpatialReference sr = SpatialReference.create(4326); // decimal degrees
boolean test = GeometryEngine.contains(ev, pt, sr);
System.out.println(GeometryEngine.geometryToJson(sr, ev));
assertTrue("envelope containts point true", test);
The test fails, and if I check the print statement I get a json that has swapped my x-coordinates
{"xmin":-170,"ymin":-20,"xmax":170,"ymax":20,"spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}}
Is there a different/better way to do this?
