polygonize

Description

Polygonizes (Multi)LineString(s) into Polygons.

Implementation of GEOSPolygonize function (geos::operation::polygonize::Polygonizer).

Polygonizes a set of lines that represents edges in a planar graph. Edges must be correctly noded, i.e., they must only meet at their endpoints.

The implementation correctly handles:

  • Dangles: edges which have one or both ends which are not incident on another edge endpoint.
  • Cut Edges (bridges): edges that are connected at both ends but which do not form part of a polygon.

Parameters
