public class CircularString
extends LineString
implements SingleCurvedGeometry<LineString>
```
A CircularString is a sequence of zero or more connected circular arc segments. A circular arc segment is a curved segment defined by three points in a two-dimensional plane; the first point cannot be the same as the third point.
