Interface Circle

All Superinterfaces:

Arc, ArcString, CurveSegment, GenericCurve

@UML(identifier="GM_Circle",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface Circle
extends Arc

Same as an arc, but closed to form a full circle. The start and end bearing are equal and shall be the bearing for the first control point listed.

This still requires at least 3 distinct non-co-linear points to be unambiguously defined. The arc is simply extended until the first point is encountered.

Since:

GeoAPI 1.0
