Detailed Description

Supports linear referencing along a linear geom::Geometry using the length along the line as the index.

Negative length values are taken as measured in the reverse direction from the end of the geometry. Out-of-range index values are handled by clamping them to the valid range of values. Non-simple lines (i.e. which loop back to cross or touch themselves) are supported.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LengthIndexedLine()

geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::LengthIndexedLine ( const geom::Geometry linearGeom)

Constructs an object which allows a linear Geometry to be linearly referenced using length as an index.

Parameters
linearGeomthe linear geometry to reference along

Member Function Documentation

◆ clampIndex()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::clampIndex ( double  index) const

Computes a valid index for this line by clamping the given index to the valid range of index values.

Returns
a valid index value

◆ extractLine()

std::unique_ptr<geom::Geometry> geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::extractLine ( double  startIndex,
double  endIndex 
) const

Computes the LineString for the interval on the line between the given indices.

If the endIndex lies before the startIndex, the computed geometry is reversed.

Parameters
startIndexthe index of the start of the interval
endIndexthe index of the end of the interval
Returns
the linear interval between the indices

◆ extractPoint() [1/2]

geom::Coordinate geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::extractPoint ( double  index) const

Computes the Coordinate for the point on the line at the given index.

If the index is out of range the first or last point on the line will be returned. The Z-ordinate of the computed point will be interpolated from the Z-ordinates of the line segment containing it, if they exist.

Parameters
indexthe index of the desired point
Returns
the Coordinate at the given index

◆ extractPoint() [2/2]

geom::Coordinate geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::extractPoint ( double  index,
double  offsetDistance 
) const

Computes the Coordinate for the point on the line at the given index, offset by the given distance.

If the index is out of range the first or last point on the line will be returned. The computed point is offset to the left of the line if the offset distance is positive, to the right if negative.

The Z-ordinate of the computed point will be interpolated from the Z-ordinates of the line segment containing it, if they exist.

Parameters
indexthe index of the desired point
offsetDistancethe distance the point is offset from the segment (positive is to the left, negative is to the right)
Returns
the Coordinate at the given index

◆ getEndIndex()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::getEndIndex ( ) const

Returns the index of the end of the line.

Returns
the end index

◆ getStartIndex()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::getStartIndex ( ) const

Returns the index of the start of the line.

Returns
the start index

◆ indexOf()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::indexOf ( const geom::Coordinate pt) const

Computes the minimum index for a point on the line.

If the line is not simple (i.e. loops back on itself) a single point may have more than one possible index. In this case, the smallest index is returned.

The supplied point does not necessarily have to lie precisely on the line, but if it is far from the line the accuracy and performance of this function is not guaranteed. Use project to compute a guaranteed result for points which may be far from the line.

Parameters
pta point on the line
Returns
the minimum index of the point

◆ indexOfAfter()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::indexOfAfter ( const geom::Coordinate pt,
double  minIndex 
) const

Finds the index for a point on the line which is greater than the given index.

If no such index exists, returns minIndex. This method can be used to determine all indexes for a point which occurs more than once on a non-simple line. It can also be used to disambiguate cases where the given point lies slightly off the line and is equidistant from two different points on the line.

The supplied point does not `*necessarily* have to lie precisely on the line, but if it is far from the line the accuracy and performance of this function is not guaranteed. Use project to compute a guaranteed result for points which may be far from the line.

Parameters
pta point on the line
minIndexthe value the returned index must be greater than
Returns
the index of the point greater than the given minimum index

◆ indicesOf()

double* geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::indicesOf ( const geom::Geometry subLine) const

Computes the indices for a subline of the line.

(The subline must conform to the line; that is, all vertices in the subline (except possibly the first and last) must be vertices of the line and occcur in the same order).

Parameters
subLinea subLine of the line
Returns
a pair of indices for the start and end of the subline.

◆ isValidIndex()

bool geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::isValidIndex ( double  index) const

Tests whether an index is in the valid index range for the line.

Parameters
indexthe index to test
Returns
true if the index is in the valid range

◆ project()

double geos::linearref::LengthIndexedLine::project ( const geom::Coordinate pt) const

Computes the index for the closest point on the line to the given point.

If more than one point has the closest distance the first one along the line is returned. (The point does not necessarily have to lie precisely on the line.)

Parameters
pta point on the line
Returns
the index of the point
