APPENDIX B - Constraints
Linear Geometry Structure

Definition

For a <Linear Geometry> instance G, the following conditions shall hold.

  1. Each <Vertex> component of G shall appear exactly once as a component of G.

  2. No two <Vertex> components of G shall occupy the same position in space.

  3. If G is an <Arc> instance, the <Location> component of G shall not occupy the same position in space as any of the <Vertex> components of G.

  4. For any <Geometry Edge> instance E associated with G, the <Geometry Node> instances forming the endpoints of E shall be associated with <Vertex> components of G.

Rationale

The <Location> information of a <Linear Geometry> instance is required to be distinct in order to form geometrically valid <Linear Geometry> instance.

Example

  1. An <Arc> instance, in order to specify a geometric arc, is required to have distinct endpoints, and the <Location> instance about which it is symmetric is required to be distinct from those endpoints for the same reason.
