13 | [section:concept_linestring Linestring Concept] | |
14 | ||
15 | [heading Description] | |
16 | [concept Linestring..linestring] | |
17 | ||
18 | A linestring is ['a Curve with linear interpolation between Points]. | |
19 | (__ogc_sf__). | |
20 | ||
21 | [heading Concept Definition] | |
22 | ||
23 | The Linestring Concept is defined as following: | |
24 | ||
25 | * there must be a specialization of `traits::tag` defining `linestring_tag` as type | |
26 | * it must behave like a Boost.Range Random Access Range | |
27 | * The type defined by the metafunction `range_value<...>::type` must fulfill | |
28 | the [link geometry.reference.concepts.concept_point Point Concept] | |
29 | ||
30 | [heading Rules] | |
31 | ||
32 | Besides the Concepts, which are checks on compile-time, there are rules that | |
33 | valid linestrings must fulfill. Most algorithms work on any linestring, so either | |
34 | self-crossing or not. However, for correct results using the overlay algorithms | |
35 | (intersection and difference algorithms in combination with a polygon) | |
36 | self-intersections can disturb the process and result in incorrect results. | |
37 | ||
38 | [heading Available Models] | |
39 | * [link geometry.reference.models.model_linestring model::linestring] | |
40 | * a std::vector (requires registration) | |
41 | * a std::deque (requires registration) | |
