Detailed Description

A patch is a surface based on a single ring, thus not having any holes.

Member Function Documentation

bool Luciad.Geometries.Patch.Contains2D ( Luciad.Cartesian.Coordinate point )

inline

Returns if this patch contains the given point.

For these calculations, the height value of the given point or base geometry is ignored. I.e. only the horizontal coordinates are taken into account.

Limitations:

Currently, this function doesn't support patches with a CompositeRing as base geometry. In that case, an exception is thrown.
For patches with PolylineRing base geometries, a spherical approximation is used.
For patches with geodetic PolylineRing base geometries, LineInterpolationType.Linear is not supported.

Parameters

point a point, defined in the same reference as the reference of this Patch

Exceptions

System.ArgumentException when calling this function on a patch with a geodetic PolylineRing base geometry with linear interpolation.

Luciad.Geometries.Ring Luciad.Geometries.Patch.BaseGeometry

get

The base ring geometry on which the patch is based.

Returns the base ring geometry on which the patch is based.
