A linestring (named so by OGC) is a collection (default a vector) of points.
template<typename Point, template< typename, typename > class Container, template< typename > class Allocator> class model::linestring : public Container< Point, Allocator< Point > > { // ... };
| Parameter | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| typename Point | Any type fulfilling a Point Concept | |
| template< typename, typename > class Container | std::vector | container type, for example std::vector, std::deque | 
| template< typename > class Allocator | std::allocator | container-allocator-type | 
| Function | Description | Parameters | 
|---|---|---|
| 
 linestring() 
 | Default constructor, creating an empty linestring. | |
| 
 template<typename Iterator> linestring(Iterator begin, Iterator end) 
 | Constructor with begin and end, filling the linestring. | Iterator: begin: Iterator: end: | 
| 
 linestring(std::initializer_list< Point > l) 
 | Constructor taking std::initializer_list, filling the linestring. | std::initializer_list< Point >: l: | 
Either
          #include <boost/geometry/geometries/geometries.hpp>
        
Or
          #include <boost/geometry/geometries/linestring.hpp>
        
Declaration and use of the Boost.Geometry model::linestring, modelling the Linestring Concept
#include <iostream> #include <boost/geometry.hpp> #include <boost/geometry/geometries/geometries.hpp> namespace bg = boost::geometry; int main() { typedef bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::cartesian> point_t; typedef bg::model::linestring<point_t> linestring_t; linestring_t ls1;#if !defined(BOOST_NO_CXX11_UNIFIED_INITIALIZATION_SYNTAX) \ && !defined(BOOST_NO_CXX11_HDR_INITIALIZER_LIST) linestring_t ls2{{0.0, 0.0}, {1.0, 0.0}, {1.0, 2.0}};
#endif bg::append(ls1, point_t(0.0, 0.0));
bg::append(ls1, point_t(1.0, 0.0)); bg::append(ls1, point_t(1.0, 2.0)); double l = bg::length(ls1); std::cout << l << std::endl; return 0; }
| Default-construct a linestring. | |
| Construct a linestring containing three points, using C++11 unified initialization syntax. | |
| Append point. |
