Description

Specifies the "Linear ring" type of geo object.

This tag contains a description of the boundaries of a linear ring. Can be used to set the exterior and interior boundaries of polygons (see gml:Polygon).

A linear ring is a simple geometric shape bounded by four or more points connected by a series of segments. The coordinates of the ring's first and last points must be the same.

Tip. In most cases, a linear ring can be considered a closed polyline (see gml: LineString).

Points of the ring can be set using multiple gml: pos tags or the gml: posListtag.
