- Method Detail
  - getCentroid
```
org.locationtech.jts.geom.Point getCentroid()
```
    Computes the centroid of the envelope of this Geometry.
    
    Returns:
    
    The centroid of the envelope of this Geometry.
  - getEnvelope
```
org.locationtech.jts.geom.Envelope getEnvelope()
```
    Gets a Geometry representing the envelope (bounding box) of this Geometry.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Geometry representing the envelope of this Geometry
  - getGeometry
```
org.locationtech.jts.geom.Geometry getGeometry()
```
    Gets the Geometry of this object, which is a representation of a planar, linear vector geometry.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Geometry of this object.
  - getVolume
```
double getVolume()
```
    Gets the area of this Geometry multiplied by the duration of this object. Areal Geometries have a non-zero area.
    
    Returns:
    
    The computed volume of this spatio-temporal object.
