geometry objects without any additional structure which
describes topology
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_topology1D
|
1-dimensional topological complex; commonly called
'chain-node' topology
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_planarGraph
|
1-dimensional topological complex that is planar. (A planar
graph is a graph that can be drawn in a plane in such a way that no two edges
intersect except at a vertex.)
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_fullPlanarGraph
|
2-dimensional topological complex that is planar. (A
2-dimensional topological complex is commonly called 'full topology' in a
cartographic 2D environment.)
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_surfaceGraph
|
1-dimensional topological complex that is isomorphic to a
subset of a surface. (A geometric complex is isomorphic to a topological
complex if their elements are in a one-to-one, dimensional-and
boundary-preserving correspondence to one another.)
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_fullSurfaceGraph
|
2-dimensional topological complex that is isomorphic to a
subset of a surface
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_topology3D
|
3-dimensional topological complex. (A topological complex is
a collection of topological primitives that are closed under the boundary
operations.)
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_fullTopology3D
|
complete coverage of a 3D Euclidean coordinate
space
|
MD_TopologyLevelCode_abstract
|
topological complex without any specified geometric
realisation
