Line

public Line(@NotNull
 Coordinate startPoint,
 @NotNull
 Coordinate endPoint,
 @NotNull
 LineInterpolationType interpolationType,
 @NotNull
 CoordinateReference reference)
     throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a line segment.

Line objects can be created with the interpolation types:

• linear
• geodesic
• rhumb

The interpolation types geodesic and rhumb are only allowed for geodetic coordinate references.

Parameters:

startPoint - the start point of the line

endPoint - the end point of the line

interpolationType - the interpolation type

reference - the reference of the line

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the line cannot be constructed. For example for an invalid combination of coordinate reference and interpolation type.

Since:

2025.0
