=head1 NAME

Geo::Space - A collection of various  items

=head1 INHERITANCE

 Geo::Space
   is a Geo::Shape

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 my $island1 = Geo::Line->filled(...);
 my $island2 = Geo::Space->new(...);
 my $islands = Geo::Space->new($island1, $island2)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Where a L<Geo::Surface|Geo::Surface> can only contains sets of nested polygons, the
Space can contain anything you like: lines, points, and unrelated polygons.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Constructors

=over 4

=item $obj-E<gt>B<new>([COMPONENTS], [OPTIONS])

=item Geo::Space-E<gt>B<new>([COMPONENTS], [OPTIONS])

When called as instance method, some defaults are copied from the
object where the call is made upon.  Usually called as class method.

COMPONENTS are L<Math::Polygon|Math::Polygon>, L<Math::Polygon::Surface|Math::Polygon::Surface>,
L<Geo::Point|Geo::Point>, L<Geo::Line|Geo::Line>, L<Geo::Surface|Geo::Surface>, L<Geo::Space|Geo::Space> objects.

=head2 Attributes

=over 4

=item $obj-E<gt>B<component>(INDEX, [INDEX, ...])

Returns the component (or components) with the specified INDEX(es). One
L<Geo::Shape|Geo::Shape> object in scalar context, and multiple in list context.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<components>()

Returns a list of L<Geo::Shape|Geo::Shape> objects, all located in this space.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<lines>()

Returns a list of L<Geo::Line|Geo::Line> objects, which are defined as separate
components.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<nrComponents>()

Returns the number of components.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<onlyLines>()

Returns true when all components are lines; L<Geo::Line|Geo::Line> objects.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<onlyPoints>()

Returns true when all components are points; L<Geo::Point|Geo::Point> objects.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<onlyRings>()

Returns true when all components are closed lines; L<Geo::Line|Geo::Line> objects
each defined as ring.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<points>()

Returns a list of L<Geo::Point|Geo::Point> objects, which are defined as separate
components.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<proj>()

=head2 Geometry

See L<Geo::Shape/"Geometry">

=item $obj-E<gt>B<distance>(OBJECT, [UNIT])

See L<Geo::Shape/"Geometry">

=item $obj-E<gt>B<perimeter>()

The length of the outer polygons of all components. Only useful in a
orthogonal coordinate systems.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<toString>([PROJECTION])

Returns a string representation of the line, which is also used for
stringification.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item Error: distance calculation not implemented between a $kind and a $kind

Only a subset of all objects can be used in the distance calculation.
The limitation is purely caused by lack of time to implement this.

=item Error: in() not implemented for a $class
