## Public Member Functions
| LinearRing (const LinearRing &lr)
| LinearRing (CoordinateSequence *points, const GeometryFactory *newFactory)
| Constructs a `LinearRing` with the given points.
| LinearRing (CoordinateSequence::AutoPtr points, const GeometryFactory *newFactory)
| Hopefully cleaner version of the above.
virtual Geometry * | clone () const
int | getBoundaryDimension () const
| Returns `Dimension.FALSE`, since by definition LinearRings do not have a boundary.
bool | isSimple () const
| Returns `true`, since by definition LinearRings are always simple.
std::string | getGeometryType () const
| Return a string representation of this Geometry type.
virtual GeometryTypeId | getGeometryTypeId () const
| Return an integer representation of this Geometry type.
void | setPoints (CoordinateSequence *cl)

## Detailed Description

Models an OGC SFS `LinearRing`.

A LinearRing is a LineString which is both closed and simple. In other words, the first and last coordinate in the ring must be equal, and the interior of the ring must not self-intersect. Either orientation of the ring is allowed.

A ring must have either 0 or 4 or more points. The first and last points must be equal (in 2D). If these conditions are not met, the constructors throw an IllegalArgumentException

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

geos::geom::LinearRing::LinearRing | ( | CoordinateSequence * | points,
|  | const GeometryFactory * | newFactory
| ) |  |

Constructs a `LinearRing` with the given points.

Parameters:

  points | points forming a closed and simple linestring, or `null` or an empty array to create the empty geometry. This array must not contain `null` elements. If not null LinearRing will take ownership of points.
  newFactory | the GeometryFactory used to create this geometry

## Member Function Documentation

virtual Geometry* geos::geom::LinearRing::clone | ( | ) | const`[inline, virtual]`

Creates and returns a full copy of this LineString object. (including all coordinates contained by it).

Returns:
  a clone of this instance

Reimplemented from geos::geom::LineString.

int geos::geom::LinearRing::getBoundaryDimension | ( | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns `Dimension.FALSE`, since by definition LinearRings do not have a boundary.

Returns:
  Dimension::False

Reimplemented from geos::geom::LineString.

bool geos::geom::LinearRing::isSimple | ( | ) | const`[virtual]`

Returns `true`, since by definition LinearRings are always simple.

Returns:
  `true`

See also:
  Geometry::isSimple

Reimplemented from geos::geom::Geometry.

Geometry* geos::geom::LinearRing::reverse | ( | ) | const

Creates a LineString whose coordinates are in the reverse order of this objects

Returns:
  a LineString with coordinates in the reverse order

Reimplemented from geos::geom::LineString.
