Overview

SFS 1.1 Description

A Polygon is a planar Surface defined by 1 exterior boundary and 0 or more interior boundaries. Each interior boundary defines a hole in the Polygon.

The assertions for Polygons (the rules that define valid Polygons) are as follows:

(a) Polygons are topologically closed;

(b) The boundary of a Polygon consists of a set of LinearRings that make up its exterior and interior boundaries;

© No two Rings in the boundary cross and the Rings in the boundary of a Polygon may intersect at a Point but only as a tangent;

(d) A Polygon may not have cut lines, spikes or punctures;

(e) The interior of every Polygon is a connected point set;

(f) The exterior of a Polygon with 1 or more holes is not connected. Each hole defines a connected component of the exterior.

In the above assertions, interior, closure and exterior have the standard topological definitions. The combination of (a) and © make a Polygon a regular closed Point set.

Polygons are simple geometric objects.

Notes

Polygon is defined as a module and is provided primarily for the sake of documentation. Implementations need not necessarily include this module itself. Therefore, you should not depend on the kind_of? method to check type. Instead, use the provided check_type class method (or === operator) defined in the Type module.

Instance Method Details

#exterior_ring ⇒ Object

SFS 1.1 Description

Returns the exterior ring of this Polygon.

Notes

Returns an object that supports the LinearRing interface.

Raises:

def exterior_ring
  raise Error::UnsupportedOperation, "Method Polygon#exterior_ring not defined."
end

#interior_ring_n(_n_) ⇒ Object

SFS 1.1 Description

Returns the Nth interiorRing for this Polygon as a LineString.

Notes
