Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getCoordinatesDimension() Returns the dimension of the geometry without forcing access to the coordinate sequence
double	getTolerance() The default linearization tolerance
T	linearize() Linearizes the geometry using the built-in linearization tolerance
T	linearize(double tolerance) Linearizes the geometry using the provided tolerance, the result is guaranteed to be less than tolerance away from the curved geometry unless the number of points needed to linearize the geometry exceeds the build-in per quadrant maximum, see CircularArc.MAX_SEGMENTS_QUADRANT
String	toCurvedText() Parallel method to Geometry.toText() that will output the geometry as curved instead of as linear

Method Detail

linearize

T linearize()

Linearizes the geometry using the built-in linearization tolerance

Returns:

linearize

T linearize(double tolerance)

Linearizes the geometry using the provided tolerance, the result is guaranteed to be less than tolerance away from the curved geometry unless the number of points needed to linearize the geometry exceeds the build-in per quadrant maximum, see CircularArc.MAX_SEGMENTS_QUADRANT

Parameters:

tolerance - Linearization tolerance, should be zero or positive. When zero is used, the maximum number of allowed linearization points will be used, see CircularArc.MAX_SEGMENTS_QUADRANT

Returns:

toCurvedText

String toCurvedText()

Parallel method to Geometry.toText() that will output the geometry as curved instead of as linear

Returns:

getTolerance

double getTolerance()

The default linearization tolerance

Returns:

getCoordinatesDimension

int getCoordinatesDimension()

Returns the dimension of the geometry without forcing access to the coordinate sequence

Returns:
