Class SnappingNoder

java.lang.Object
org.locationtech.jts.noding.snap.SnappingNoder
All Implemented Interfaces:
Noder
public class SnappingNoder extends Object implements Noder
Nodes a set of segment strings snapping vertices and intersection points together if they lie within the given snap tolerance distance. Vertices take priority over intersection points for snapping. Input segment strings are generally only split at true node points (i.e. the output segment strings are of maximal length in the output arrangement).

The snap tolerance should be chosen to be as small as possible while still producing a correct result. It probably only needs to be small enough to eliminate "nearly-coincident" segments, for which intersection points cannot be computed accurately. This implies a factor of about 10e-12 smaller than the magnitude of the segment coordinates.

With an appropriate snap tolerance this algorithm appears to be very robust. So far no failure cases have been found, given a small enough snap tolerance.

The correctness of the output is not verified by this noder. If required this can be done by

    • getNodedSubstrings

      public Collection getNodedSubstrings()
      Description copied from interface: Noder
      Returns a Collection of fully noded SegmentStrings. The SegmentStrings have the same context as their parent.
      Specified by:
      getNodedSubstrings in interface Noder
      Returns:
      a Collection of NodedSegmentStrings representing the substrings

    • computeNodes

      public void computeNodes(Collection inputSegStrings)
      Description copied from interface: Noder
      Computes the noding for a collection of SegmentStrings. Some Noders may add all these nodes to the input SegmentStrings; others may only add some or none at all.
      Specified by:
      computeNodes in interface Noder
      Parameters:
      inputSegStrings - a Collection of SegmentStrings
