Re: [udig-devel] Fill Area tool does not give correct results always
Hi Suryakant,
that is quite one interesting issue.

I am wondering if that is a problem of precision model. In your case you are using very wide lat long coordinates, which might lead at that level of non-detail to some rounding issues in the JTS results?
Can you try the same in a reprojected system?

I tried to check the geometries you report in the JTS testbuilder and they already have the extra lines.

Let me know how the tests go, I will check also as soon as I can.

Hi,
    I am using 2 tools as follows.
1. Create Polygon Tool ==> I draw a polygon. I have numbered it as 1 in the attached image.
2. Fill Area Tool ==> I use the fill tool and complete filling area marked 2 in the attached image. I again use the fill tool and complete filling area marked 3 in the attached image.
    Now the resultant polygon marked 3 is incorrectly filled. The resultant polygon has an extra line(highlighted in the image) which should not be present in the resultant polygon. 
I did a walkthrough of the code to understand the cause. I debugged the method
runDifferenceOp in the class DifferenceFeatureCommand. After I complete filling area marked 3 in the attached image, I get following results.
1.

The difference calculated is incorrect. It is not as per the definition of the method given in the api. I am quoting the api definition here(com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Geometry).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

difference

public Geometry difference(Geometry other)
Computes a Geometry representing the points making up this Geometry that do not make up other. This method returns the closure of the resultant Geometry.
Parameters:
other - the Geometry with which to compute the difference
Returns:
the point set difference of this Geometry with other
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it a bug or I am wrong in my undersatnding. Also, how do I correct it? Please let me know.
 
 
Thanks and Regards,
