Represents an envelope of the geographic objects.
Envelope is defined as a center point and an angle, which
determine region on the ellipsoid surface which contains
geometric shape. Envelope is not a minimum area envelope,
which can be defined by the point and angle. Because the
center is computed by summing the vectors from the center
of the globe to each vertex in the figure, essentially
averaging the vertices. The calculation of minimal cap is
difficult computationally and takes a long time.
This implementation is a compromise on performance and good
approximation of the true minimum envelope.
