Description

Class Summary
LengthIndexedLine: Supports linear referencing along a linear `Geometry` using the length along the line as the index.
LengthLocationMap: Computes the `LinearLocation` for a given length along a linear `Geometry`.
LinearGeometryBuilder: Builds a linear geometry (`LineString` or `MultiLineString`) incrementally (point-by-point).
LinearIterator: An iterator over the components and coordinates of a linear geometry (`LineString`s and `MultiLineString`s.
LinearLocation: Represents a location along a `LineString` or `MultiLineString`.
LocationIndexedLine: Supports linear referencing along a linear `Geometry` using `LinearLocation`s as the index.

### Linear Referencing

Linear Referencing is a way of defining positions along linear geometries (`LineStrings` and `MultiLineStrings`). It is used extensively in linear network systems. There are numerous possible Linear Referencing Methods which can be used to define positions along linear geometry. This package supports two:

- Linear Location - a linear location is a triple `(component index, segment index, segment fraction)` which precisely specifies a point on a linear geometry. It allows for efficient mapping of the index value to actual coordinate values.
- Length - the natural concept of using the length along the geometry to specify a position.
