Class GeometryLocation

    java.lang.Object
      com.vividsolutions.jts.operation.distance.GeometryLocation

public class GeometryLocation
extends java.lang.Object

Represents the location of a point on a Geometry. Maintains both the actual point location (which may not be exact, if the point is not a vertex) as well as information about the component and segment index where the point occurs. Locations inside area Geometrys will not have an associated segment index, so in this case the segment index will have the sentinel value of `INSIDE_AREA`.

Version:
  1.7

Field Summary
`static int` | `INSIDE_AREA` A special value of segmentIndex used for locations inside area geometries.

Constructor Summary
`GeometryLocation(Geometry component, Coordinate pt)` Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point inside an area geometry.
`GeometryLocation(Geometry component, int segIndex, Coordinate pt)` Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point on a geometry, as well as the segment that the point is on (or `INSIDE_AREA` if the point is not on a segment).

Method Summary
`Coordinate` | `getCoordinate()` Returns the `Coordinate` of this location.
`Geometry` | `getGeometryComponent()` Returns the geometry component on (or in) which this location occurs.
`int` | `getSegmentIndex()` Returns the segment index for this location.
`boolean` | `isInsideArea()` Tests whether this location represents a point inside an area geometry.

Field Detail

### INSIDE_AREA

    public static final int INSIDE_AREA

  A special value of segmentIndex used for locations inside area geometries. These locations are not located on a segment, and thus do not have an associated segment index.

Constructor Detail

### GeometryLocation

    public GeometryLocation(Geometry component,
                            int segIndex,
                            Coordinate pt)

  Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point on a geometry, as well as the segment that the point is on (or `INSIDE_AREA` if the point is not on a segment).

Parameters:
  `component` - the component of the geometry containing the point
  `segIndex` - the segment index of the location, or INSIDE_AREA

### GeometryLocation

    public GeometryLocation(Geometry component,
                            Coordinate pt)

  Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point inside an area geometry.

Parameters:
  `component` - the component of the geometry containing the point

Method Detail

### getGeometryComponent

    public Geometry getGeometryComponent()

  Returns the geometry component on (or in) which this location occurs.

### getSegmentIndex

    public int getSegmentIndex()

  Returns the segment index for this location. If the location is inside an area, the index will have the value `INSIDE_AREA`;

  Returns:
    the segment index for the location, or INSIDE_AREA

### getCoordinate

    public Coordinate getCoordinate()

  Returns the `Coordinate` of this location.

### isInsideArea

    public boolean isInsideArea()

  Tests whether this location represents a point inside an area geometry.
