 == Summary ==
-As of now, the OGRGeometry class (found at [http://www.gdal.org/classOGRGeometry.html]) (the base class from which all the subtypes are derived) is limited to OGRCompoundCurve, OGRCircularString, OGRLinearRing, OGRMultiLineString, OGRMultiPoint, OGRMultiPolygon, OGRMultiCurve, OGRSimpleCurve, OGRCurvePolygon and OGRPolygon. [[BR]]
-[[BR]]
-This RFC addresses the addition of the following new geometries in OGRGeometry - [[BR]]
-[[BR]]
-Triangle - A subset of polygons, the fundamental difference is that it is made of 3 nodes only (actually 4, with the last one being the repetition of the first one) and ONLY ONE exterior boundary and NO interior polygons. [[BR]]
-[[BR]]
-PolyhedralSurface - A 3D figure made exclusively of Polygons.[[BR]]
-[[BR]]
-TriangulatedSurface - A subset of PolyhedralSurface; a 3D figure which consists exclusively of Triangles. [[BR]]

-* The Triangulated Surface API is similar to Polyhedral Surface, and the MultiPolygon class was tweaked slightly to include methods to run which consisted of subgeometries of the form Triangle. (A MultiPolygon is strictly a collection of Polygons). These methods are internal to OGRMultiPolygon and cannot be accessed by a public user. For instance, the `OGRMultiPolygon::addGeomtryDirectly` method has a check that the subgeometry added to it should be of the type POLYGON. Rather than mess around with the existing function, a new function has been written which does not implement this check -
