[jts-dev] Fwd: Remove line from within another line

[Martin Davis <mtnclimb@xxxxxxxxx>]

LineDissolver is used to remove redundant line segments from an arrangement of line segments, and also to "sew" the lines together to make maximal length lines (i.e. between vertices of degree != 2).  Of course for this to work the lines must be correctly noded.

The canonical use case is to convert a polygonal coverage represented as a set of polygons into a set of linestrings representing the boundaries.

Ok, dumb question, what is the purpose of LineDissolver?
