ABSTRACT
This module provides bindings to perform some geometric operations using the Boost Geometry library. It does not aim at providing full bindings for such library, and that's why I left the Boost::Geometry namespace free. I'm unsure about the optimal architectural for providing full bindings, but I'm interested in such a project --- so, if you have ideas please get in touch with me.Warning: the API could change in the future.
METHODS
polygon_linestring_intersection
Performs an intersection between the supplied polygon and linestring, and returns an arrayref of linestrings (represented as arrayrefs of points). Note that such an intersection is also called clipping.polygon_multi_linestring_intersection
Same as polygon_linestring_intersection but it accepts a multilinestring object to perform multiple clippings in a single batch.multi_polygon_multi_linestring_intersection
Same as polygon_multi_linestring_intersection but it accepts a multipolygon object to perform multiple clippings in a single batch.multi_linestring_multi_polygon_difference
Performs a difference between the supplied multilinestring and the supplied multipolygon. It returns a multilinestring object.polygon_to_wkt
Converts one or more arrayref(s) of points to a WKT representation of a polygon (with holes).linestring_to_wkt
Converts an arrayref of points to a WKT representation of a multilinestring.wkt_to_multilinestring
Parses a MULTILINESTRING back to a Perl data structure.linestring_simplify
Accepts an arrayref of points representing a linestring and a numeric tolerance and returns an arrayref of points representing the simplified linestring.multi_linestring_simplify
Accepts an arrayref of arrayrefs of points representing a multilinestring and a numeric tolerance and returns an arrayref of arrayrefs of points representing the simplified linestrings.point_covered_by_polygon
Accepts a point and an arrayref of points representing a polygon and returns true or false according to the 'cover_by' strategy.point_covered_by_multi_polygon
Same as above but accepts a multipolygon arrayref.point_within_polygon
Accepts a point and an arrayref of points representing a polygon and returns true or false according to the 'within' strategy.point_within_multi_polygon
Same as above but accepts a multipolygon arrayref.linestring_length
Returns length of a linestring.polygon_centroid
Returns the centroid point of a given polygon.linestring_centroid
Returns the centroid point of a given linestring.multi_linestring_centroid
Returns the centroid point of a given multi_linestring.correct_polygon
Corrects the orientation(s) of the given polygon.correct_multi_polygon
Corrects the orientation(s) of the given multi_polygon.polygon_area
Returns the area of the given polygon.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
