Geometries are passed as const reference and returned by value.
This make using the API easier and reduces the risk of ownership
problems.
The overhead is minimal due to implicit sharing.
Fix https://github.com/qgis/qgis3.0_api/issues/68
Previously this was always read from settings when using
QgsGeometryValidator. It's now an explicit argument
when constructing QgsGeometryValidator or calling the
static validation methods, allowing choice of internal/GEOS
validation methods.
Helps remove more QgsSettings use from core.
Instead of requiring all linestrings to be constructed by
first creating QgsPointSequence (requiring creation or
conversion of points to QgsPointV2), allow construction
of LineStrings directly from vectors of values (fastest!)
or lists of QgsPoint.
Likely results in speedups for lots of geometry operations,
but using the same layer as earlier tested for densify
improvements the densify operation time dropped further
from 25 seconds to 15 seconds.
- Add QgsGeometry method to densify by distance
- Fix bug in processing algorithm which resulted in duplicate
vertices and incorrectly spaced extra vertices
Adds a new geometry class for Triangle geometries
Methods include orthocenter, bisectors, medians, medial, circumscribed (center,
radius), inscribed (center, radius)
Also adds make_triangle expression function for creating triangles
Faster than QgsGeometry::isGeosEmpty() because it avoids the
conversion to GEOS geometries and just uses the QgsAbstractGeometry
subclasses directly.
Also implements faster isEmpty() overrides for specific
QgsAbstractGeometry subclasses.
Allows projection of a point with inclination to return a 3d point.
Expression "project" function has been extended to support a new inclination parameter.
This introduces QgsGeometry::makeValid() which will try to make a valid
geometry out of invalid one. This is more complicated method than just
doing a buffer with zero width, but it should not loose any vertices.
Finally we should have a reliable way in QGIS to fix bad geometries!
Ported the C code from lwgeom library to QGIS.
