Returns the closure of the combinatorial boundary of the
geometry (ie the topological boundary of the geometry).
For instance, a polygon geometry will have a boundary
consisting of the linestrings for each ring in the polygon.
Follows OGC / SQL/MM specs for boundary calculation
Since z coordinates can represent potentially any height
unit and reference point, it's not safe to assume that they
always represent height in metres relative to the ellipsoid.
Instead, leave z values untouched by default with geometry
transforms, and make transforming z an optional parameter
Refs #14702
implicitly shared copy of an internal cache instead of recreating the
coordinate sequence again and again.
Improves performance of the nodetool on large features a lot (refs #13963)
Also introduce Qgs(Coordinate|Ring|Point)SequenceV2 typedefs.
- removes storage of bounding box from QgsPointV2 (gives significant
decrease in size of object)
- more efficient calculation of bounding box for linestrings
Additionally, this commit moves the bounding box invalidation to a
virtual QgsAbstractGeometryV2::clearCache() method, so that other
non-bounding box caches can also be cleared when the geometry
is modified.
Now all classes and members are either exposed to bindings or marked
as "not available in Python bindings" in the docs.
Drop test thresholds to 0. Now it should be much easier to determine
what missing members have been added which are causing test
failures.
Split length from perimeter calculation in geometry API, as
returning perimeter for length for polygons is misleading and
results in incorrect length/perimeter calculations for mixed
geometry collections.
Enable length & perimeter unit tests against reference geometries.
Now the length & perimeter values match those calculated by
PostGIS.
