[postgis-users] ST_CurveToLine: Avoid slivers and overlaps in postgis 2.1

[Rémi Cura]

Hey,
if your cases are always like those in your illustrations,
problem is tractable without too much effort.
(for polygon sharing an arc, get list of arcs, deduplicate list, change
arcs into linestring, rebuild polygon using linestring).

If you want a solution in all generality (for instance several polygons
sharing parts of an arc),
you are going to suffer
Get all arcs from all polygon, group by arcs sharing a center, transform
the group of arc to linestring, node the linestring to account for parts of
the arcs, rebuild polygonusing correct linestring.

As you notice, this is really bad complexity (you have to consider all
polygons arcs for one change).
Doing it properly would require to use something like CGAL I guess.

Good luck !

:-/
Cheers,
Rémi-C
