public class IsSimpleOp
extends Object

Tests whether a Geometry is simple. In general, the SFS specification of simplicity follows the rule:

• A Geometry is simple if and only if the only self-intersections are at boundary points.

Simplicity is defined for each Geometry type as follows:

• Polygonal geometries are simple by definition, so isSimple trivially returns true. (Note: this means that isSimple cannot be used to test for (invalid) self-intersections in Polygons. In order to check if a Polygonal geometry has self-intersections, use Geometry.isValid()).
• Linear geometries are simple if they do not self-intersect at interior points (i.e. points other than boundary points). This is equivalent to saying that no two linear components satisfy the SFS Geometry.touches(Geometry) predicate.
• Zero-dimensional (point) geometries are simple if and only if they have no repeated points.
• Empty geometries are always simple, by definition

For Lineal geometries the evaluation of simplicity can be customized by supplying a BoundaryNodeRule to define how boundary points are determined. The default is the SFS-standard BoundaryNodeRule.MOD2_BOUNDARY_RULE. Note that under the Mod-2 rule, closed LineStrings (rings) will never satisfy the touches predicate at their endpoints, since these are interior points, not boundary points. If it is required to test whether a set of LineStrings touch only at their endpoints, use IsSimpleOp with BoundaryNodeRule.ENDPOINT_BOUNDARY_RULE. For example, this can be used to validate that a set of lines form a topologically valid linear network.

Parameters:

geom - the geometry to test

boundaryNodeRule - the rule to use.

Method Detail

isSimple

public boolean isSimple()

Deprecated.

Tests whether the geometry is simple.

Returns:

true if the geometry is simple

getNonSimpleLocation

public Coordinate getNonSimpleLocation()

Deprecated.

Gets a coordinate for the location where the geometry fails to be simple. (i.e. where it has a non-boundary self-intersection). isSimple() must be called before this method is called.

Returns:

a coordinate for the location of the non-boundary self-intersection or null if the geometry is simple

isSimple

public boolean isSimple(LineString geom)

Deprecated. use isSimple()

Reports whether a LineString is simple.

Parameters:

geom - the lineal geometry to test

Returns:

true if the geometry is simple

isSimple

public boolean isSimple(MultiLineString geom)

Deprecated. use isSimple()

Reports whether a MultiLineString geometry is simple.

Parameters:

geom - the lineal geometry to test

Returns:

true if the geometry is simple

isSimple

public boolean isSimple(MultiPoint mp)

Deprecated. use isSimple()

A MultiPoint is simple if it has no repeated points
