GeometryPositionEquality (geolatte-geom 1.5.0 API)

All Implemented Interfaces:

GeometryEquality

Direct Known Subclasses:

ApproximateGeometryEquality
```
public class GeometryPositionEquality
extends Object
implements GeometryEquality
```
A GeometryEquality that considers two Geometrys to be equal iff one of these conditions is satisfied:
- both have the same type, coordinate reference system and consist of the same Points.
- both are empty
Point equality is determined by the PositionEquality instance that is passed to the constructor. In case of the default no-args constructor, ExactPositionEquality is used.

```
public <P extends Position> boolean equals(Geometry<P> first,
                                           Geometry<P> second)
```
    Checks whether the first geometry equals the second, for some definition of equality.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface GeometryEquality
    
    Parameters:
    
    first - a Geometry
    
    second - a second Geometry
    
    Returns:
    
    true if and only if both both Geometrys are equal.
