Classes

GeometrySnapper

Snaps the vertices and segments of a Geometry to another Geometry's vertices. A snap distance tolerance is used to control where snapping is performed. Snapping one geometry to another can improve robustness for overlay operations by eliminating nearly-coincident edges (which cause problems during noding and intersection calculation). It can also be used to eliminate artifacts such as narrow slivers, spikes and gores. Too much snapping can result in invalid topology beging created, so the number and location of snapped vertices is decided using heuristics to determine when it is safe to snap. This can result in some potential snaps being omitted, however.

LineStringSnapper

Snaps the vertices and segments of a LineString to a set of target snap vertices. A snap distance tolerance is used to control where snapping is performed.

The implementation handles empty geometry and empty snap vertex sets.

SnapIfNeededOverlayOp

Performs an overlay operation using snapping and enhanced precision to improve the robustness of the result. This class only uses snapping if an error is detected when running the standard JTS overlay code. Errors detected include thrown exceptions (in particular, TopologyException) and invalid overlay computations.

SnapOverlayOp

Performs an overlay operation using snapping and enhanced precision to improve the robustness of the result. This class always uses snapping. This is less performant than the standard JTS overlay code, and may even introduce errors which were not present in the original data. For this reason, this class should only be used if the standard overlay code fails to produce a correct result.
