Just to add to Larry's comment - there has been discussion of
supporting curved geometries in the past and some preliminary coding.
You can delve into the archives of the developer list if you're
interested.
Meanwhile, as well as the wiki page that Larry mentions, hava a look
at the JTS GeometricS
Neil,
The OpenGis Simple Features specification doesn't support some of the
shapes used in the mobile domain like Circle, Ellipse, and ArcBand,
and components built on top of that Simple Features spec like
GeoTools, JTS, WKT, and PostGIS are also unlikely to support them as
first-class shapes. Yo
Hi
I am involved in a project which is dealing with shapes that are defined by
the Open mobile Alliance mobile location protocol (MLP).
These shapes seem to be pretty standard looking at the shapes that Geotools
uses:
CircularArea
CircularArcArea
Polygon
LineString
LinearRing
EllipticalArea
