```
public boolean checkConsistency()
```
    Do some internal consistency checks on the geometry. Currently, all Geometries must have a valid dimension (2 or 3) and a valid type. 2-dimensional Points must have Z=0.0, as well as non-measured Points must have m=0.0. Composed geometries must have all equal SRID, dimensionality and measures, as well as that they do not contain NULL or inconsistent subgeometries. BinaryParser and WKTParser should only generate consistent geometries. BinaryWriter may produce invalid results on inconsistent geometries.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if all checks are passed.
