LinearRing

This class represents a closed, non-self-intersecting sequence of line segments that forms a boundary. It extends the LineString functionality with a requirement for a minimum number of points and provides a property to determine the winding order of the ring.

Constructor

Signature

def LinearRing() - > null

Methods

---

is_counterclockwise()

@classmethod
def is_counterclockwise() - > boolean

Determines if the ring's vertices are ordered in a counter-clockwise direction. Raises a ValueError if the LinearRing is empty, as orientation cannot be determined for empty geometries.

Returns

Type	Description
boolean	True if the ring orientation is counter-clockwise, False if it is clockwise.
