Interface MultiSurface

All Superinterfaces:

Geometry, GeometryCollection

All Known Subinterfaces:

MultiPolygon

All Known Implementing Classes:

SeMultiPolygon, SeMultiSurface

public interface MultiSurface
extends GeometryCollection

The MultiSurface interface defines the methods for the subclasses of MultiSurface. A MultiSurface is a non-instantiable class. It is a two-dimensional GeometryCollection whose elements are Surfaces. The instantiable subclass of MultiSurface is MultiPolygon.

Method Summary

double	area()
Point	centroid() Centroid takes a polygon or multipolygon and returns its geometric center as a point.
Point	pointOnSurface() Pointonsurface takes a polygon or multipolygon and returns a point guaranteed to lie on its surface.
