public interface Surface
extends Geometry

The Surface interface defines the methods for a class whose instances create a two-dimensional geometric object.

Method Summary

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