## Detailed Description

An iterator over the components and coordinates of a linear geometry (LineStrings and MultiLineStrings.

The standard usage pattern for a LinearIterator is:

     for (LinearIterator it = new LinearIterator(...); it.hasNext(); it.next()) {
       ...
       int ci = it.getComponentIndex();   // for example
       int vi = it.getVertexIndex();      // for example
       ...
     }

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

geos::linearref::LinearIterator::LinearIterator | ( | const geom::Geometry * | linear ) |

Creates an iterator initialized to the start of a linear Geometry

Parameters:

  linear | the linear geometry to iterate over

geos::linearref::LinearIterator::LinearIterator | ( | const geom::Geometry * | linear,
|  | const LinearLocation & | start
| ) |  |

Creates an iterator starting at a LinearLocation on a linear Geometry

Parameters:

  linear | the linear geometry to iterate over
  start | the location to start at

geos::linearref::LinearIterator::LinearIterator | ( | const geom::Geometry * | linear,
|  | unsigned int | componentIndex,
|  | unsigned int | vertexIndex
| ) |  |

Creates an iterator starting at a component and vertex in a linear Geometry

Parameters:

  linear | the linear geometry to iterate over
  componentIndex | the component to start at
  vertexIndex | the vertex to start at

## Member Function Documentation

unsigned int geos::linearref::LinearIterator::getComponentIndex | ( | ) | const

The component index of the vertex the iterator is currently at.

Returns:
  the current component index

const geom::LineString* geos::linearref::LinearIterator::getLine | ( | ) | const

Gets the LineString component the iterator is current at.

Returns:
  a linestring

geom::Coordinate geos::linearref::LinearIterator::getSegmentEnd | ( | ) | const

Gets the second Coordinate of the current segment. (the coordinate of the next vertex). If the iterator is at the end of a line, `null` is returned.

Returns:
  a Coordinate or `null`

geom::Coordinate geos::linearref::LinearIterator::getSegmentStart | ( | ) | const

Gets the first Coordinate of the current segment. (the coordinate of the current vertex).

Returns:
  a Coordinate

unsigned int geos::linearref::LinearIterator::getVertexIndex | ( | ) | const

The vertex index of the vertex the iterator is currently at.

Returns:
  the current vertex index

bool geos::linearref::LinearIterator::hasNext | ( | ) | const

Tests whether there are any vertices left to iterator over.

Returns:
  `true` if there are more vertices to scan

bool geos::linearref::LinearIterator::isEndOfLine | ( | ) | const

Checks whether the iterator cursor is pointing to the endpoint of a linestring.

Returns:
  `true</true> if the iterator is at an endpoint`

void geos::linearref::LinearIterator::next | ( | ) |

Moves the iterator ahead to the next vertex and (possibly) linear component.
