MinimumDiameter

Compute a minimum diameter for a given {link Geometry}.

Gets a {link LineString} which is a minimum diameter

return a { @link LineString} which is a minimum diameter

Gets the length of the minimum diameter of the input Geometry

return the length of the minimum diameter

Gets the minimum rectangular {link Polygon} which encloses the input geometry. The rectangle has width equal to the minimum diameter, and a longer length. If the convex hull of the input is degenerate (a line or point) a {link LineString} or {link Point} is returned.

The minimum rectangle can be used as an extremely generalized representation for the given geometry.

return the minimum rectangle enclosing the input (or a line or point if degenerate)

Gets the segment forming the base of the minimum diameter

return the segment forming the base of the minimum diameter

Gets the {link Coordinate} forming one end of the minimum diameter

return a coordinate forming one end of the minimum diameter
