◆ concaveHull()

QgsAbstractGeometry * QgsGeos::concaveHull	(	double	targetPercent,

	)		const

Returns a possibly concave geometry that encloses the input geometry.

The result is a single polygon, line or point.

It will not contain holes unless the optional allowHoles argument is specified as true.

One can think of a concave hull as a geometry obtained by "shrink-wrapping" a set of geometries. This is different to the convex hull, which is more like wrapping a rubber band around the geometries. It is slower to compute than the convex hull but generally has a smaller area and represents a more natural boundary for the input geometry. The target_percent is the percentage of area of the convex hull the solution tries to approach.

A target_percent of 1 gives the same result as the convex hull. A target_percent between 0 and 0.99 produces a result that should have a smaller area than the convex hull.

This method requires a QGIS build based on GEOS 3.11 or later.

Exceptions

QgsNotSupportedException on QGIS builds based on GEOS 3.10 or earlier.

		QString *	errorMsg = `nullptr`
	)		const

Returns the Fréchet distance between this geometry and geom, restricted to discrete points for both geometries.

The Fréchet distance is a measure of similarity between curves that takes into account the location and ordering of the points along the curves. Therefore it is often better than the Hausdorff distance.

This function accepts a densifyFraction argument. The function performs a segment densification before computing the discrete Fréchet distance. The densifyFraction parameter sets the fraction by which to densify each segment. Each segment will be split into a number of equal-length subsegments, whose fraction of the total length is closest to the given fraction.

This method can be used when the default approximation provided by frechetDistance() is not sufficient. Decreasing the densifyFraction parameter will make the distance returned approach the true Fréchet distance for the geometries.

This method requires a QGIS build based on GEOS 3.7 or later.

Exceptions

QgsNotSupportedException on QGIS builds based on GEOS 3.6 or earlier.

◆ hausdorffDistance()

double QgsGeos::hausdorffDistance	(	const QgsAbstractGeometry *	geom,

Returns the Hausdorff distance between this geometry and geom.

This is basically a measure of how similar or dissimilar 2 geometries are.

This algorithm is an approximation to the standard Hausdorff distance. This approximation is exact or close enough for a large subset of useful cases. Examples of these are:

computing distance between Linestrings that are roughly parallel to each other, and roughly equal in length. This occurs in matching linear networks.
Testing similarity of geometries.

If the default approximate provided by this method is insufficient, use hausdorffDistanceDensify() instead.

std::unique_ptr< QgsAbstractGeometry > QgsGeos::largestEmptyCircle	(	double	tolerance,
		const QgsAbstractGeometry *	boundary = `nullptr`,
		QString *	errorMsg = `nullptr`
	)		const

Constructs the Largest Empty Circle for a set of obstacle geometries, up to a specified tolerance.

The Largest Empty Circle is the largest circle which has its center in the convex hull of the obstacles (the boundary), and whose interior does not intersect with any obstacle. The circle center is the point in the interior of the boundary which has the farthest distance from the obstacles (up to tolerance). The circle is determined by the center point and a point lying on an obstacle indicating the circle radius. The implementation uses a successive-approximation technique over a grid of square cells covering the obstacles and boundary. The grid is refined using a branch-and-bound algorithm. Point containment and distance are computed in a performant way by using spatial indexes. Returns a two-point linestring, with one point at the center of the inscribed circle and the other on the boundary of the inscribed circle.

This method requires a QGIS build based on GEOS 3.9 or later.

Warning: the tolerance value must be a value greater than 0, or the algorithm may never converge on a solution

◆ maximumInscribedCircle()

std::unique_ptr< QgsAbstractGeometry > QgsGeos::maximumInscribedCircle	(	double	tolerance,
		QString *	errorMsg = `nullptr`
	)		const

Returns the maximum inscribed circle.

Constructs the Maximum Inscribed Circle for a polygonal geometry, up to a specified tolerance. The Maximum Inscribed Circle is determined by a point in the interior of the area which has the farthest distance from the area boundary, along with a boundary point at that distance. In the context of geography the center of the Maximum Inscribed Circle is known as the Pole of Inaccessibility. A cartographic use case is to determine a suitable point to place a map label within a polygon. The radius length of the Maximum Inscribed Circle is a measure of how "narrow" a polygon is. It is the distance at which the negative buffer becomes empty. The class supports polygons with holes and multipolygons. The implementation uses a successive-approximation technique over a grid of square cells covering the area geometry. The grid is refined using a branch-and-bound algorithm. Point containment and distance are computed in a performant way by using spatial indexes. Returns a two-point linestring, with one point at the center of the inscribed circle and the other on the boundary of the inscribed circle.

Returns: a LineString or MultiLineString geometry, with any connected lines joined. An empty geometry will be returned if the input geometry was not a LineString/MultiLineString geometry.

Since: QGIS 3.0

Definition at line 2691 of file qgsgeos.cpp.

◆ minimumClearance()

double QgsGeos::minimumClearance ( QString * errorMsg = nullptr ) const

Computes the minimum clearance of a geometry.

The minimum clearance is the smallest amount by which a vertex could be moved to produce an invalid polygon, a non-simple linestring, or a multipoint with repeated points. If a geometry has a minimum clearance of 'eps', it can be said that:

No two distinct vertices in the geometry are separated by less than 'eps'
No vertex is closer than 'eps' to a line segment of which it is not an endpoint.

If the minimum clearance cannot be defined for a geometry (such as with a single point, or a multipoint whose points are identical) a value of infinity will be returned.

If an error occurs while calculating the clearance NaN will be returned.

This method requires a QGIS build based on GEOS 3.6 or later.

Exceptions

QgsNotSupportedException on QGIS builds based on GEOS 3.5 or earlier.

◆ minimumWidth()

std::unique_ptr< QgsAbstractGeometry > QgsGeos::minimumWidth ( QString * errorMsg = nullptr ) const

Returns a linestring geometry which represents the minimum diameter of the geometry.

The minimum diameter is defined to be the width of the smallest band that contains the geometry, where a band is a strip of the plane defined by two parallel lines. This can be thought of as the smallest hole that the geometry can be moved through, with a single rotation.

This method requires a QGIS build based on GEOS 3.6 or later.

◆ node()

std::unique_ptr< QgsAbstractGeometry > QgsGeos::node ( QString * errorMsg = nullptr ) const

Returns a (Multi)LineString representing the fully noded version of a collection of linestrings.

The noding preserves all of the input nodes, and introduces the least possible number of new nodes. The resulting linework is dissolved (duplicate lines are removed).

The input geometry type should be a (Multi)LineString.

◆ polygonize()

QgsGeometry QgsGeos::polygonize	(	const QVector< const QgsAbstractGeometry * > &	geometries,
		QString *	errorMsg = `nullptr`
	)

static

Creates a GeometryCollection geometry containing possible polygons formed from the constituent linework of a set of geometries.

The input geometries must be fully noded (i.e. nodes exist at every common intersection of the geometries). The easiest way to ensure this is to first unary union these geometries by calling combine() on the set of input geometries and then pass the result to polygonize(). An empty geometry will be returned in the case of errors.

Subdivides the geometry.

The returned geometry will be a collection containing subdivided parts from the original geometry, where no part has more then the specified maximum number of nodes (maxNodes).

Creates a Voronoi diagram for the nodes contained within the geometry.

Returns the Voronoi polygons for the nodes contained within the geometry. If extent is specified then it will be used as a clipping envelope for the diagram. If no extent is set then the clipping envelope will be automatically calculated. In either case the diagram will be clipped to the larger of the provided envelope OR the envelope surrounding all input nodes. The tolerance parameter specifies an optional snapping tolerance which can be used to improve the robustness of the diagram calculation. If edgesOnly is true than line string boundary geometries will be returned instead of polygons. An empty geometry will be returned if the diagram could not be calculated.
