## Public Member Functions

| GeometryLocation (const geom::Geometry *component, int segIndex, const geom::Coordinate &pt)
| Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point on a geometry, as well as the segment that the point is on (or INSIDE_AREA if the point is not on a segment).
| GeometryLocation (const geom::Geometry *component, const geom::Coordinate &pt)
| Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point inside an area geometry.
const geom::Geometry * | getGeometryComponent ()
int | getSegmentIndex ()
geom::Coordinate & | getCoordinate ()
bool | isInsideArea ()
| Tests whether this location represents a point inside an area geometry.

## Static Public Attributes

static const int | INSIDE_AREA = -1
| A Special value of segmentIndex used for locations inside area geometries.

## Detailed Description

Represents the location of a point on a Geometry.

Maintains both the actual point location (which may not be exact, if the point is not a vertex) as well as information about the component and segment index where the point occurs. Locations inside area Geometrys will not have an associated segment index, so in this case the segment index will have the sentinel value of INSIDE_AREA.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

geos::operation::distance::GeometryLocation::GeometryLocation | ( | const geom::Geometry * | component,
|  | int | segIndex,
|  | const geom::Coordinate & | pt
| ) |  |

Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point on a geometry, as well as the segment that the point is on (or INSIDE_AREA if the point is not on a segment).

Parameters:

  component | the component of the geometry containing the point
  segIndex | the segment index of the location, or INSIDE_AREA
  pt | the coordinate of the location

geos::operation::distance::GeometryLocation::GeometryLocation | ( | const geom::Geometry * | component,
|  | const geom::Coordinate & | pt
| ) |  |

Constructs a GeometryLocation specifying a point inside an area geometry.

Parameters:

  component | the component of the geometry containing the point
  pt | the coordinate of the location

## Member Function Documentation

geom::Coordinate& geos::operation::distance::GeometryLocation::getCoordinate | ( | ) |

Returns the geom::Coordinate of this location.

const geom::Geometry* geos::operation::distance::GeometryLocation::getGeometryComponent | ( | ) |

Returns the geometry component on (or in) which this location occurs.

int geos::operation::distance::GeometryLocation::getSegmentIndex | ( | ) |

Returns the segment index for this location.

If the location is inside an area, the index will have the value INSIDE_AREA;

Returns:
  the segment index for the location, or INSIDE_AREA

## Member Data Documentation

const int geos::operation::distance::GeometryLocation::INSIDE_AREA = -1`[static]`

A Special value of segmentIndex used for locations inside area geometries.

These locations are not located on a segment, and thus do not have an associated segment index.
