[Gdal-dev] LinearRing and GetGeometryType

[Didrik Pinte]

Hi,

I'm using the Python interface to OGR, but the problem will be
encountered in all the languages

As a subclass of OGRLineString, when calling geometry.GetGeometryType()
on a OGRLinearRing object, it returns ogr.wkbLineString type and not an
ogr.wkbLinearRing type.

It this behaviour normal ? or should it be modified ?

What should be the best fix for this problem ? 

[1] implement GetGeometryType in OGRLinearString ?
[2] if the current behaviour is the right way to do it, just fix it in
my ogr.py file redefining the GetGeometryType for the LinearRing
objects ?
