I'm not quite understand why we need traits::closure for Ring & Polygon, aren't these always closed?
What should I expect if the closure is open? Should I see Ring as Linestring then?

No (about the last question).

Apparently the doc about closure should be updated. However, this page explains it clearly:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/reference/enumerations/closure_selector.html

Yah, I somewhat missed that page, seems it does contain the info I needed.
Since I'm writing my 2d graphics lib, I always think the lib should close it anyway for drawing, but I don't know how it matters in the context of geometry operations...

Thanks.
