Description

The Ring type represents a closed, two-dimensional shape, either as the outer boundary (outer ring) or an exclusion (inner ring) within a Polygon. It is defined by a sequence of vertices connected by geodesic line segments (i.e., great circle arcs), allowing for precise delineation of geographic areas with varying complexity.

A ring must not be self intersecting. Rings are implicitly closed (i.e., the first and last point are implicitly connected). Rings can't have fewer than 3 points and can't have duplicate points.
