Curtis Jensen commented on MATH-880:
------------------------------------
The new PolygonsSet constructor fixes the problems we have been seeing. So far
1.0e-8 works for all of our cases. If it ever doesn't work, we'll come up with
a heuristic for setting the thickness.
To answer the earlier questions about how we organize our data, we have created
a layer on top of Apache Math. We have developed our own internal API for
different general euclidean representations and operations that we use on
different projects. We work both in 3D and 2D coordinate spaces. Our polygon
classes contain a clockwise ordered array of points. In all cases, our
polygons are sequentially connected, fully continuous, and closed (nothing
fancy). We keep track of holes as polygons defined in the same way. We have
methods to convert and order points in many different fashions. Our 3D space
is almost exclusively topographical in nature, so we generally reduce to 2D for
most geometric calculations. In addition to a topographical third dimension we
do sometimes keep track of other information on those points (such as a
altitude or measurement error value). The PolygonsSet constructor you have
created should work nicely for us. If there was a way to build 2D polygons but
keep the topological information (or other information), that would be nice;
though, we are able to work with whatever you provide.
Because we have an abstraction layer on top of Apache Math, we should be able
to adapt to any API that is provided. Before Apache Math 3, we had a
combination of our home grown code and Sun's Vecmath (Thanks for Apache Math 3;
it fixes some limitations we had previously). In that regard, the API for
building polygons is "a good one." It does what we need. As long as there are
examples, test cases, and documentation we'll figure it out. The Apache Math
API has many capabilities we don't need and so the building of Polygons is
probably not as simple as it could be for what we are doing. Now that you know
roughly how we are using it, I'll leave it up to as to how "good" the API is
for building polygons. One limitation I would point out is the absence of
non-polygonal shapes like circles/spheres, ellipses/ellipsoids, cylinders, etc.
All in all, we are happy with it and very appreciative.
Thanks again, and Happy Halloween

> The 2D polygon difference method is returning incorrect
> results. Below is a test case of subtracting two polygons (Sorry,
> this is the simplest case that I could find that duplicates the
> problem).
> There are three problems with the result. The first is that the first
> point of the first set of vertices is null (and the first point of the
> second set is also null). The second is that, even if the first null
> points are ignored, the returned polygon is not the correct result.
> The first and last points are way off, and the remaining points do not
> match the original polygon boundaries. Additionally, there are two
> holes that are returned in the results. This subtraction case should
> not have holes.
