GetTopoGeomElements documentation does not mention the return is about primitives

[strk]

For hierarchical TopoGeometry objects, GetTopoGeomElements, I believe, is always returning primitive components, rather than the actual child-layer elements.

This should be clearly documented (after proper verification).

We might at some point add a parameter to specify which elements we want (primitive or lower layer)

See also #4882 for more documentation improvements needed in that page

I confirmed it returns only primitives.

There is a line if level > 0 keep on recursing.

I noticed it is clearly documented already. What change did you have in mind?

It says:

Returns a set of topoelemnt objects containing the topological element_id,element_type of the given TopoGeometry (primitive elements).

Uhm, I can see the (primitive elements) in the table of content, but not when inside the page: ​http://postgis.net/docs/GetTopoGeomElements.html

[robe]

ah indeed how did that happen. Okay will update.
