Interface PolyhedralSurface

All Superinterfaces:

GenericSurface, Geometry, OrientablePrimitive, OrientableSurface, Primitive, Surface, TransfiniteSet

All Known Subinterfaces:

Tin, TriangulatedSurface

@UML(identifier="GM_PolyhedralSurface",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface PolyhedralSurface
extends Surface

A surface composed of polygon surfaces connected along their common boundary curves. This differs from Surface only in the restriction on the types of surface patches acceptable.

Since:

GeoAPI 2.0

Version:

Abstract specification 5
