[postgis-devel] TRIANGLE

[Paul Ramsey]

Unless I'm wrong, this is just a really stupid definition for the TRIANGLE WKB (from the "modularized" ISO draft)

WKBTriangle 
{
  byte byteOrder;
  static uint32  wkbType = 17;
  uint32  numRings;
  LinearRing rings[numRings]
}

I mean, it's a triangle right? How many rings does it have? And how many points are in that ring? At a minimum it should be reduced to:

WKBTriangle 
{
  byte byteOrder;
  static uint32  wkbType = 17;
  LinearRing ring;
}

At least then only the number of points would be redundant information.
