Interface CompositeGeometry<T extends GeometricPrimitive>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the composited geometries

Collection<T>, Geometry, GMLObject, Iterable<T>, List<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultCompositeGeometry

public interface CompositeGeometry<T extends GeometricPrimitive>
extends Geometry, List<T>

A CompositeGeometry is a geometric complex with underlying core geometries that are (as a whole) isomorphic to a geometry primitive. E.g., a composite curve is a collection of curves whose geometry interface could be satisfied by a single curve (albeit a much more complex one). Composites are intended for use as attribute values in datasets in which the underlying geometry has been decomposed, usually to expose its topological nature.
