I wanted to clip with an exterior of a Polygon
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this.
But maybe it's helpful to clarify that "1-D geometry" is reinforcing the type signature of the method - it means it takes a LineString as input.

Thanks for the quick response.
if I wanted to clip with an exterior of a Polygon
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this.
Say I have Polygons A and B.
I was thinking of using Polygon::exterior of B, wrap it in a MultiLineString and call something like A.clip(&b_exterior_multilinestr, ...)
. Would that make sense?

ls
is actually a MultiLineString
. Is that also a 1-D geometry? If so, is a Polygon with an interior a 2-D geometry?

No wait.. it's 1-D because it doesn't have thickness or any notion of solidity?
(And thus only one coordinate is needed to specify a point in it.. though I'm not entirely sure how that'd work for a MultiLineString)

Exactly.
0-D: Point
1-D: Line/LineString/MultiLineString
2-D: Polygon/MultiPolygon/Rect/Triangle

Maybe? It depends on what you are expecting to happen. Polygon::exterior
is 1-dimensional.
So A.clip(&b_exterior_multilinestr, ...)
will give you a 1 dimensional clipping - potentially a bunch of disparate line strings.
If that's what you are looking for, then great.
My guess though, is that you are looking for 2-dimensional clipping. Something like https://docs.rs/geo/latest/geo/algorithm/bool_ops/trait.BooleanOps.html
from geo.
Okay, thank you, this conversation has been very helpful

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for.
My guess though, is that you are looking for 2-dimensional clipping.
I use those too, and I use them too.
Funnily enough, I find them intuitive as they are. Possibly because they are just simple type signatures (and because they are very common set operations)
I feel that I would have understood clip
too if Clip a 1-D geometry with self
was removed from the docstring. The reason is that I don't expect free-form comments to tell me something that the type signature does perfectly adequately. At least to me it seems clear that LineStrings in itself is different from Polygons for example. So the sentence made me overthink and question what I could see in the signature. I don't feel that Clip a 1-D geometry with self
adds anything that the signature and the next sentence doesn't already express.
That might be just me though

Thanks for explaining. Feel free to open a pull request if you think you can improve the documentation.
