I would love to see a GeometryBuilder class. Using a geometry factory to
build up geometries is painful for building complex geometries like
polygons.
If could replace code like:
GeometryFactory gf = new GeometryFactory();
gf.createPolygon(
gf.createLineString(
new Coordinate[]{
new Coordinate(0,0), new Coordinate(1,1),
new Coordinate(2,2), new Coordinate(0,0)
}, null
)
);
With a chaining builder:
GeometryFactory gf = new GeometryFactory();
GeometryBuilder gb = new GeometryBuilder( gf );
gb.coordinate(0,0).coordinate(1,1).coordinate(2.2).coordinate(0.0)
.lineString().polygon();
I would be a happy camper :).
