这里提到的空间分析（SpatialAnalysis）特指ArcEngine中使用空间筛选器（SpatialFilter）来实现的空间筛选分析，可以使用其自带的空间交互类型（如：相交、包含、相切等）进行分析，也可以使用九交模型来分析，不管使用哪种方式，这种分析都是精确的无差别的，也就是说不能设置容差的，这种分析在实际使用中是有一定的局限性的，后续的文章我们可能会讲到。同时，空间筛选器是属性筛选器的扩展和延伸，因此空间分析还具备了属性筛选的功能，这个特性很有用，可以缩小筛选范围，辅助空间分析定位。
涉及接口
IFeatureClass、ISpatialFilter、IQueryFilter、IFeatureCursor
