Greetings!
The documentation for the OGRGeometry class mentions the GEOS library in a
few of the
method definitions, but I wonder if there is a "stronger" OGR dependency on
the GEOS
library than the documentation suggests. Perhaps GEOS should be a required
library.
I had done some processing using OGRGeometry::Intersects() without the GEOS
library
installed, I then installed GEOS to run the same tests using
OGRGeometry::Distance().
After installing GEOS, but before running the OGRGeometry::Distance()
tests, I re-ran the
code using OGRGeometry::Intersects() and noticed different intersection
results.
Before-GEOS, the Intersects() method indicated intersection with 2 layer
polygons. After-GEOS,
the Intersects() method indicated intersection with 1 layer polygon. Note:
After-GEOS results
for both Intersects() and Distance() == 0 were the same.
Should the GEOS library be a requirement for deterministic OGR processing?
Thank you.
KFW
