public CoordinateSequences()

Method Details

isCCW

public static boolean isCCW(CoordinateSequence ring)

Computes whether a ring defined by an array of Coordinates is oriented counter-clockwise.

• The list of points is assumed to have the first and last points equal.
• This will handle coordinate lists which contain repeated points.

This algorithm is only guaranteed to work with valid rings. If the ring is invalid (e.g. self-crosses or touches), the computed result may not be correct.

Parameters:

ring - an array of Coordinates forming a ring

Returns:

true if the ring is oriented counter-clockwise.

computeOrientation

public static int computeOrientation(CoordinateSequence cs,
 int p1,
 int p2,
 int q)

coordinateDimension

public static int coordinateDimension(Geometry g)

Gets the dimension of the coordinates in a Geometry, by reading it from a component CoordinateSequence. This will be usually either 2 or 3.

Parameters:

g - a Geometry

Returns:

the dimension of the coordinates in the Geometry

coordinateDimension

public static int coordinateDimension(CoordinateSequence seq)

Gets the effective dimension of a CoordinateSequence. This is a workaround for the issue that CoordinateArraySequence does not keep an accurate dimension - it always reports dim=3, even if there is no Z ordinate (ie they are NaN). This method checks for that case and reports dim=2. Only the first coordinate is checked.

There is one small hole: if a CoordinateArraySequence is empty, the dimension will be reported as 3.

Parameters:

seq - a CoordinateSequence

Returns:

the effective dimension of the coordinate sequence

equalsND

public static boolean equalsND(Geometry g1,
 Geometry g2)

Returns true if the two geometries are equal in N dimensions (normal geometry equality is only 2D)
