I have a search technology that can store and index information
presented as WKT multi-points and can then quickly retrieve records that
have points in a defined search area (ranking records by the number of
points contained in the search area).
What I would like to do is use JTS to translate any given geometry
(lines/polygons etc) into a multi-point approximate reprentation for
storing in this index. Each output geometry would use a limited number
of points to express the shape - a line for example would be translated
to a series of points whereas a polygon might look like a polka-dot
print with evenly spaced points.
Does anyone have any guidelines as to how to most efficiently achieve
this using the JTS api?
Many thanks for a wonderful project!
Cheers,
Mark
