All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable, Lineal, java.io.Serializable

public class LinearRing
extends LineString

Models an OGC SFS `LinearRing`. A LinearRing is a LineString which is both closed and simple. In other words, the first and last coordinate in the ring must be equal, and the interior of the ring must not self-intersect. Either orientation of the ring is allowed.

Constructor Detail

### LinearRing

    public LinearRing(Coordinate[] points,
                      PrecisionModel precisionModel,
                      int SRID)

  Deprecated. Use GeometryFactory instead

  Constructs a `LinearRing` with the given points.

Parameters:
  `points` - points forming a closed and simple linestring, or `null` or an empty array to create the empty geometry. This array must not contain `null` elements.
  `precisionModel` - the specification of the grid of allowable points for this `LinearRing`
  `SRID` - the ID of the Spatial Reference System used by this `LinearRing`

### LinearRing

    public LinearRing(CoordinateSequence points,
                      GeometryFactory factory)

  Constructs a `LinearRing` with the vertices specifed by the given `CoordinateSequence`.

Parameters:
  `points` - a sequence points forming a closed and simple linestring, or `null` to create the empty geometry.

Method Detail

### getBoundaryDimension

    public int getBoundaryDimension()

  Returns `Dimension.FALSE`, since by definition LinearRings do not have a boundary.

  Overrides:
    `getBoundaryDimension` in class `LineString`
  Returns:
    Dimension.FALSE

### isSimple

    public boolean isSimple()

  Returns `true`, since by definition LinearRings are always simple.

  Overrides:
    `isSimple` in class `Geometry`
  Returns:
    `true`
  See Also:
    `Geometry.isSimple()`

### getGeometryType

    public java.lang.String getGeometryType()

  Description copied from class: `Geometry`
  Returns the name of this object's `com.vivid.jts.geom` interface.

  Overrides:
    `getGeometryType` in class `LineString`
