Contains classes and interfaces implementing linear referencing on linear geometries
Linear Referencing
Linear Referencing is a way of defining positions along linear geometries
(LineStrings and MultiLineStrings).
It is used extensively in linear network systems.
There are numerous possible Linear Referencing Methods which
can be used to define positions along linear geometry.
This package supports two:
Linear Location - a linear location is a triple
(component index, segment index, segment fraction)
which precisely specifies a point on a linear geometry.
It allows for efficient mapping of the index value to actual coordinate values.
Length - the natural concept of using the length along
the geometry to specify a position.
Supports linear referencing along a linear
Geometry using the length along the line as the index.
Negative length values are taken as measured in the reverse direction
from the end of the geometry.
Out-of-range index values are handled by clamping
them to the valid range of values.
Non-simple lines (i.e.
