Concrete class representing polygons.

Note that the OpenGIS simple features polygons consist of one outer ring, and zero or more inner rings. A polygon cannot represent disconnected regions (such as multiple islands in a political body). The OGRMultiPolygon must be used for this.

Member Function Documentation

void OGRPolygon::addRing ( OGRLinearRing * poNewRing )

Add a ring to a polygon.

If the polygon has no external ring (it is empty) this will be used as the external ring, otherwise it is used as an internal ring. The passed OGRLinearRing remains the responsibility of the caller (an internal copy is made).

This method has no SFCOM analog.

Parameters:

poNewRing

ring to be added to the polygon.

Referenced by clone(), OGRGeometryFactory::forceToPolygon(), and OGRLayer::SetSpatialFilterRect().

void OGRPolygon::addRingDirectly ( OGRLinearRing * poNewRing )

Add a ring to a polygon.

If the polygon has no external ring (it is empty) this will be used as the external ring, otherwise it is used as an internal ring. Ownership of the passed ring is assumed by the OGRPolygon, but otherwise this method operates the same as OGRPolygon::AddRing().

This method has no SFCOM analog.

Parameters:

poNewRing

ring to be added to the polygon.

the maximum distance between 2 points after segmentization

Reimplemented from OGRGeometry.

void OGRPolygon::setCoordinateDimension ( int nNewDimension ) [virtual]

Set the coordinate dimension.

This method sets the explicit coordinate dimension. Setting the coordinate dimension of a geometry to 2 should zero out any existing Z values. Setting the dimension of a geometry collection will not necessarily affect the children geometries.

Parameters:

nNewDimension

New coordinate dimension value, either 2 or 3.

Reimplemented from OGRGeometry.

OGRErr OGRPolygon::transform ( OGRCoordinateTransformation * poCT ) [virtual]

Apply arbitrary coordinate transformation to geometry.

This method will transform the coordinates of a geometry from their current spatial reference system to a new target spatial reference system. Normally this means reprojecting the vectors, but it could include datum shifts, and changes of units.

Note that this method does not require that the geometry already have a spatial reference system. It will be assumed that they can be treated as having the source spatial reference system of the OGRCoordinateTransformation object, and the actual SRS of the geometry will be ignored. On successful completion the output OGRSpatialReference of the OGRCoordinateTransformation will be assigned to the geometry.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_G_Transform().

Parameters:

poCT

the transformation to apply.

Returns:: OGRERR_NONE on success or an error code.

This method relates to the SFCOM IWks::WkbSize() method.

This method is the same as the C function OGR_G_WkbSize().

Returns:: size of binary representation in bytes.

Implements OGRGeometry.
