Class Polygonizer

  • public class Polygonizer
extends java.lang.Object
    Polygonizes a set of Geometrys which contain linework that represents the edges of a planar graph. All types of Geometry are accepted as input; the constituent linework is extracted as the edges to be polygonized. The processed edges must be correctly noded; that is, they must only meet at their endpoints. Polygonization will accept incorrectly noded input but will not form polygons from non-noded edges, and reports them as errors.

    The Polygonizer reports the follow kinds of errors:

    • Dangles - edges which have one or both ends which are not incident on another edge endpoint
    • Cut Edges - edges which are connected at both ends but which do not form part of polygon
    • Invalid Ring Lines - edges which form rings which are invalid (e.g. the component lines contain a self-intersection)
    Polygonization supports extracting only polygons which form a valid polygonal geometry. The set of extracted polygons is guaranteed to be edge-disjoint. This is useful for situations where it is known that the input lines form a valid polygonal geometry.

        public void add​(java.util.Collection geomList)
        Adds a collection of geometries to the edges to be polygonized. May be called multiple times. Any dimension of Geometry may be added; the constituent linework will be extracted and used.
        Parameters:
        geomList - a list of Geometrys with linework to be polygonized

      • add

        public void add​(Geometry g)
        Add a Geometry to the edges to be polygonized. May be called multiple times. Any dimension of Geometry may be added; the constituent linework will be extracted and used
        Parameters:
        g - a Geometry with linework to be polygonized

      • setCheckRingsValid

        public void setCheckRingsValid​(boolean isCheckingRingsValid)
        Allows disabling the valid ring checking, to optimize situations where invalid rings are not expected.

        The default is true

        Parameters:
        isCheckingRingsValid - true if generated rings should be checked for validity
