Class Envelope

Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class Envelope
extends java.lang.Object
implements Serializable

Defines a rectangular region of the 2D coordinate plane. It is often used to represent the bounding box of a Geometry, e.g. the minimum and maximum x and y values of the Coordinates.

Note that Envelopes support infinite or half-infinite regions, by using the values of Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY and Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.

When Envelope objects are created or initialized, the supplies extent values are automatically sorted into the correct order.

Version:
