/**
* Geometry
classes support the concept of applying
* a GeometryComponentFilter
* filter to the Geometry
.
* The filter is applied to every component of the Geometry
* which is itself a Geometry
* and which does not itself contain any components.
* (For instance, all the {@link LinearRing}s in {@link Polygon}s are visited,
* but in a {@link MultiPolygon} the {@link Polygon}s themselves are not visited.)
* Thus the only classes of Geometry which must be
* handled as arguments to {@link #filter}
* are {@link LineString}s, {@link LinearRing}s and {@link Point}s.
*
* A GeometryComponentFilter
filter can either
* record information about the Geometry
* or change the Geometry
in some way.
* GeometryComponentFilter
* is an example of the Gang-of-Four Visitor pattern.
