> Hi,
> Working with geosahpes and trying to resolve spatial relationships between
> them I came accross a big limitation when trying to solve the relationship
> between two geopolygons. This object does not expose the internal structure.
> In particular at some point, it is necessary to check if one polygon
> intersects the edges of the other polygon which currently is not possible as
> edges are not exposed.
> To be able to perform such operation it can be several options. The ones I
> can think of are:
> 1) Expose the edges of the polygon ( and probably the notable points for the
> edges) adding getters in the GeoPolygon interface. Easy to implement and
> leave users the responsability of coding the spatial relationship.
> 2) Extends GeoPolygon interface to extends geoarea and leave the object make
> the spatial relationship.
> 3) Extends GeoShape interface so all shapes can infer the spatial
> relationship with other GeoShapes.
> I might be bias as my interest is in 2d Shapes in the unit sphere and there
> might be some cases which what I propose cannot be implemented or are againts
> the aim of the library.
> What do you think?
> Cheers,
> Ignacio
