21 \class GeoDataLinearRing
22 \brief A LinearRing that allows to store a closed, contiguous set of line segments.
23
24 GeoDataLinearRing is a tool class that implements the LinearRing tag/class
25 of the Open Geospatial Consortium standard KML 2.2.
26
27 Unlike suggested in the KML spec GeoDataLinearRing extends GeoDataLineString
28 to store a closed LineString (the KML specification suggests to inherit from
29 the Geometry class directly).
30
31 In the QPainter API LinearRings are also referred to as "polygons".
32 As such they are similar to QPolygons.
33
34 Whenever a LinearRing is painted GeoDataLineStyle should be used to assign a
35 color and line width.
36
37 A GeoDataLinearRing consists of several (geodetic) nodes which are each
38 connected through line segments. The nodes are stored as GeoDataCoordinates
39 objects.
40
41 The API which provides access to the nodes is similar to the API of
42 QVector.
43
44 GeoDataLinearRing allows LinearRings to be tessellated in order to make them
45 follow the terrain and the curvature of the earth. The tessellation options
46 allow for different ways of visualization:
47
48 \li Not tessellated: A LinearRing that connects each two nodes directly and
49 straight in screen coordinate space.
50 \li A tessellated line: Each line segment is bent so that the LinearRing
51 follows the curvature of the earth and its terrain. A tessellated
52 line segment connects two nodes at the shortest possible distance
53 ("along great circles").
54 \li A tessellated line that follows latitude circles whenever possible:
55 In this case Latitude circles are followed as soon as two subsequent
56 nodes have exactly the same amount of latitude. In all other places the
57 line segments follow great circles.
58
59 Some convenience methods have been added that allow to calculate the
60 geodesic bounding box or the length of a LinearRing.
