#1568 closed enhancement (fixed)

implement polygon clipping

Reported by: bbell Owned by: bbell
Priority: major Milestone: 9.5
Component: qlparser Version: development
Keywords: polygon, clipping Cc: Dimitar Misev, Vlad Merticariu, Peter Baumann
Complexity: Hard

Description (last modified by Dimitar Misev)

following the work performed in D399, one should implement the polygon clipping methods in 2-D and 3-D and make any obvious improvements possible to the existing code (in particular, this means reducing present code redundancy).

system tests should be developed for polygon clipping in the following cases:

2D — convex, concave, self-intersecting, vertex revisited, collinear
3D — ", not coplanar

and exceptions should be thrown where the queries are not working/implemented.

Furthermore, it's worth thinking about how polygons are specified in rasql. Currently, D399 implements a simple representation of [x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3] (x/y[/z] coordinates of each polygon vertex are enumerated as one long list). Instead we could adopt WKT syntax, e.g. POLYGON ((x1 y1, x2 y2, x3 y3)), or something else more appropriate.

still needs polygonal interiors from WKT polygons, otherwise this is basically done.

@bbell: please open a new ticket for interiors.
