The JTS Topology Suite is a Java API that implements a core set of spatial data operations using an explicit precision model and robust geometric algorithms. It provides a complete model for specifying 2-D linear Geometry. Many common operations in computational geometry and spatial data processing are exposed in a clear, consistent and integrated API. JTS is intended to be used in the development of applications that support the validation, cleaning, integration and querying of spatial datasets.

Since the exact buffer outline of a Geometry usually contains circular
161-
sections, the buffer must be approximated by the linear Geometry
162-
supported by JTS. The degree of approximation may be controlled by the

user. In JTS this is done by specifying the number of quadrant segments
