SimplifyingGeometryValidator (DMLab Library API for 0.0.4-SNAPSHOT)

java.lang.Object
- edu.gsu.cs.dmlab.geometry.validation.SimplifyingGeometryValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

IGeometryValidator
```
public class SimplifyingGeometryValidator
extends Object
implements IGeometryValidator
```
A geometry validator that takes an input geometry and attempts to ensure that it is valid by performing a simplification action on the input geometry. This functionality was produced for the work described in Boubrahimi et. al, 2018.

public SimplifyingGeometryValidator(IGeometryValidator polygonValidator,
                                    double simplifierDistance)
```
    Constructor that takes in a geometry validator that removes self intersections / inconsistencies of passed in Geometry objects. It also takes in the variable for the simplifier distance tolerance is taken in.
    
    Parameters:
    
    polygonValidator - The geometry validator that removes self intersections and the like.
    
    simplifierDistance - The distance tolerance for the simplifier. All vertices in the simplified geometry will be within this distance of the original geometry. The tolerance value must be non-negative.

```
    Description copied from interface: IGeometryValidator
    
    Performs some validation function on the input geometry and returns a new geometry that conforms to that validation method. An example would be to ensure that the coordinate list is in a counterclockwise direction.
    
    Specified by:
    
    produceValidGeometry in interface IGeometryValidator
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - The input geometry to force to conform to a set of validity rules.
    
    Returns:
    
    A valid copy of the input geometry.
