[section:concept_multi_polygon MultiPolygon Concept]

[heading Description]
[concept MultiPolygon..multi polygon]

[heading Concept Definition]

The MultiPolygon Concept is defined as following:

* There must be a specialization of the metafunction `traits::tag`, defining `multi_polygon_tag` as type
* It must behave like a Boost.Range Random Access Range
* The type defined by the metafunction `range_value<...>::type` must fulfill 
	the [link geometry.reference.concepts.concept_polygon Polygon Concept]
    
[heading Rules]

Besides the Concepts, which are checks on compile-time, there are  
rules that valid MultiPolygons must fulfill. See the
[link geometry.reference.concepts.concept_polygon Polygon Concept] for more information
on the rules a polygon (and also a multi polygon) must fulfill.

Additionally:

* Individual polygons making up a multi-polygon may not intersect each other,
    but tangencies are allowed.
* One polygon might be located within the interior ring of another polygon.
