Interface Tin

All Superinterfaces:

GeometricPrimitive, Geometry, GMLObject, Object, Surface, TriangulatedSurface, TypedObjectNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultTin

public interface Tin
extends TriangulatedSurface

A TriangulatedSurface that uses the Delaunay algorithm or a similar algorithm complemented with consideration of breaklines, stoplines, and maximum length of triangle sides. These networks satisfy the Delaunay's criterion away from the modifications: For each triangle in the network, the circle passing through its vertices does not contain, in its interior, the vertex of any other triangle.

One can notice that the useful information provided for the Tin element is solely the trianglePatches, since the stopLines and breakLines (along with maxLength and ControlPoints) are only needed to obtain the triangulation. However, GML allows to specify both, so the interface provides access to them.
