[geos-devel] how to fix self-intersecting linear rings

[Steven Beckert]

What is the best way to fix linear rings which are invalid due to
self-intersection?

Converting this ring to a polygon and executing buffer(0) sometimes
resolves the self-intersection but sometimes returns nothing or a partial
geometry. Considering the input geometry to buffer() is invalid, I realize
the result may not valid.

The only method that has had consistent success thus far is
polygonize(LINEARRING.union()), then extract the boundary. Is there a more
efficient way to fix self-intersections?
Thanks
