Detailed Description
A LinearRing that allows to store a closed, contiguous set of line segments.
GeoDataLinearRing is a tool class that implements the LinearRing tag/class of the Open Geospatial Consortium standard KML 2.2.
Unlike suggested in the KML spec GeoDataLinearRing extends GeoDataLineString to store a closed LineString (the KML specification suggests to inherit from the Geometry class directly).
In the QPainter API LinearRings are also referred to as "polygons". As such they are similar to QPolygons.
Whenever a LinearRing is painted GeoDataLineStyle should be used to assign a color and line width.
A GeoDataLinearRing consists of several (geodetic) nodes which are each connected through line segments. The nodes are stored as GeoDataCoordinates objects.
The API which provides access to the nodes is similar to the API of QVector.
GeoDataLinearRing allows LinearRings to be tessellated in order to make them follow the terrain and the curvature of the earth. The tessellation options allow for different ways of visualization:
- Not tessellated: A LinearRing that connects each two nodes directly and straight in screen coordinate space.
- A tessellated line: Each line segment is bent so that the LinearRing follows the curvature of the earth and its terrain. A tessellated line segment connects two nodes at the shortest possible distance ("along great circles").
- A tessellated line that follows latitude circles whenever possible: In this case Latitude circles are followed as soon as two subsequent nodes have exactly the same amount of latitude. In all other places the line segments follow great circles.
Some convenience methods have been added that allow to calculate the geodesic bounding box or the length of a LinearRing.

Member Function Documentation

virtual |
Returns whether the given coordinates lie within the polygon.
- Returns
true
if the coordinates lie within the polygon, false otherwise.
Definition at line 47 of file GeoDataLinearRing.cpp.
|
virtual |
Returns whether a LinearRing is a closed polygon.
- Returns
true
for a LinearRing.

Returns the length of the LinearRing across a sphere.
As a parameter the planetRadius needs to be passed.
- Returns
- The return value is the length of the LinearRing. The unit used for the resulting length matches the unit of the planet radius.
This method can be used as an approximation for the circumference of a LinearRing.
