     \brief A LinearRing that allows to store a closed, contiguous set of line segments.
 
     GeoDataLinearRing is a tool class that implements the LinearRing tag/class
     of the Open Geospatial Consortium standard KML 2.2.
 
     Unlike suggested in the KML spec GeoDataLinearRing extends GeoDataLineString
     to store a closed LineString (the KML specification suggests to inherit from
     the Geometry class directly).
 
     In the QPainter API LinearRings are also referred to as "polygons".
     As such they are similar to QPolygons.
 
     Whenever a LinearRing is painted GeoDataLineStyle should be used to assign a
     color and line width.
 
     A GeoDataLinearRing consists of several (geodetic) nodes which are each
     connected through line segments. The nodes are stored as GeoDataCoordinates
     objects.
 
     The API which provides access to the nodes is similar to the API of
     QVector.
 
     GeoDataLinearRing allows LinearRings to be tessellated in order to make them
     follow the terrain and the curvature of the earth. The tessellation options
     allow for different ways of visualization:
 
     \li Not tessellated: A LinearRing that connects each two nodes directly and
         straight in screen coordinate space.
     \li A tessellated line: Each line segment is bent so that the LinearRing
         follows the curvature of the earth and its terrain. A tessellated
         line segment connects two nodes at the shortest possible distance
         ("along great circles").
     \li A tessellated line that follows latitude circles whenever possible:
         In this case Latitude circles are followed as soon as two subsequent
         nodes have exactly the same amount of latitude. In all other places the
         line segments follow great circles.
 
     Some convenience methods have been added that allow to calculate the
     geodesic bounding box or the length of a LinearRing.
