Specializations of Geometry

Class	Description
Area By Circle	An area representation encoded as a circle.
Area By Code	An area representation encoded as a code that references an entry in an external location referencing system.
Area By Grid	An area representation encoded as a grid. The rectangle defined by lower-left and upper-right is the base cell, which is replicated eastward (columns) and northward (rows).
Area By Grid	An area representation encoded as a grid. The rectangle defined by lower-left and upper-right is the base cell, which is replicated eastward (columns) and northward (rows).
Area By Linear Boundaries	An area representation encoded as a set of linear boundary representations.
Area By Multi Polygon	An area representation encoded as a MultiPolygon geometry.
Area By Polygon	An area representation encoded as a Polygon geometry.
Area By Rectangle	An area representation encoded as a rectangle, defined by a lower-left corner and an upper-right corner.

Point By Coordinates	A coordinate tuple defining the geodetic position of a single point location using a known geodetic reference system
Point By Coordinates	A coordinate tuple defining the geodetic position of a single point location using a known geodetic reference system
Point By Geo Coordinates	A point location representation encoded as latitude/longitude and optional elements, such as elevation and metadata.
