Interface Composite

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable, Complex, Geometry, Serializable, Shape

All Known Subinterfaces:

CompositeCurve, CompositeSolid, CompositeSurface

public interface Composite
extends Complex

This interface is equivalent to the GM_Composite specified in ISO 19107. A geometric composite shall be a geometric complex with an underlying core geometry that is isomorphic to a primitive. Thus, a composite curve is a collection of curves whose geometry interface could be satisfied by a single curve (albeit a much more complex one).

Composites are intended for use as attribute values in datasets in which the underlying geometry has been decomposed, usually to expose its topological nature.
