Interface Solid

All Superinterfaces:
Geometry, Primitive, TransfiniteSet
All Known Subinterfaces:
CompositeSolid

@UML(identifier="GM_Solid",
     specification=ISO_19107)
public interface Solid
extends Primitive

Basis for 3-dimensional geometry. The extent of a solid is defined by the boundary surfaces.

Since:
GeoAPI 1.0
Version:
ISO 19107
See Also:
PrimitiveFactory.createSolid(org.opengis.geometry.primitive.SolidBoundary)
TODO:
Some associations are commented out for now.

Method Summary
 double getArea()
          Returns the sum of the surface areas of all of the boundary components of a solid.
 OrientablePrimitive[] getProxy()
          Returns always null, since solids have no proxy.
 double getVolume()
          Returns the volume of this solid.

Method Detail

getArea

@UML(identifier="area",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19107)
double getArea()
Returns the sum of the surface areas of all of the boundary components of a solid.

Returns:
The area of this solid.
TODO:
In UML diagram, this operation has an Area return type.

getVolume

@UML(identifier="volume",
     obligation=MANDATORY,
     specification=ISO_19107)
double getVolume()
Returns the volume of this solid. This is the volume interior to the exterior boundary shell minus the sum of the volumes interior to any interior boundary shell.

Returns:
The volume of this solid.
TODO:
In UML diagram, this operation has a Volume return type.

getProxy

@Association(value="Oriented")
@UML(identifier="proxy",
     obligation=FORBIDDEN,
     specification=ISO_19107)
OrientablePrimitive[] getProxy()
Returns always null, since solids have no proxy.

Specified by:
getProxy in interface Primitive
Returns:
The orientable primitives as an array of length 2, or null if none.

OrientablePrimitive.getPrimitive()
