Interface OrientableCurve

All Superinterfaces:

Geometry, OrientablePrimitive, Primitive, TransfiniteSet

All Known Subinterfaces:

CompositeCurve, Curve, Ring

@UML(identifier="GM_OrientableCurve",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface OrientableCurve
extends OrientablePrimitive

A curve and an orientation inherited from OrientablePrimitive. If the orientation is positive, then the OrientableCurve is a curve. If the orientation is negative, then the OrientableCurve is related to another curve with a parameterization that reverses the sense of the curve traversal.

Since:

GeoAPI 1.0

Version:

Abstract specification 5

Method Summary

CurveBoundary	getBoundary() Returns an ordered pair of points, which are the start point and end point of the curve.
CompositeCurve	getComposite() Returns the owner of this orientable curve, or null if none.

Method Detail

getBoundary

@UML(identifier="boundary",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19107)
CurveBoundary getBoundary()

Returns an ordered pair of points, which are the start point and end point of the curve. If the curve is closed, then the boundary shall be empty.

Specified by:

getBoundary in interface Geometry

Specified by:

getBoundary in interface Primitive

Returns:

The sets of positions on the boundary.

CompositeCurve getComposite()

Returns the owner of this orientable curve, or null if none.

Returns:

The owner of this orientable curve, or null if none.
