Optional Functions

The following MEP functions are not part of the Odysseus Core and may be restricted.

Spatial Functions (Spatial Feature)

The spatial functions are based upon the JTS Topology Suite (http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/JTSHome.htm).

Notice, that JTS only considers x and y coordinate and ignores the z coordinate (although z can be definied)!
