Field Detail

geometries

protected Geometry[] geometries
Internal representation of this GeometryCollection.

Constructor Detail

GeometryCollection

public GeometryCollection(Geometry[] geometries,
                          PrecisionModel precisionModel,
                          int SRID)
Deprecated. Use GeometryFactory instead


GeometryCollection

public GeometryCollection(Geometry[] geometries,
                          GeometryFactory factory)
Parameters:
geometries - the Geometrys for this GeometryCollection, or null or an empty array to create the empty geometry. Elements may be empty Geometrys, but not nulls.
Method Detail

getCoordinate

public Coordinate getCoordinate()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns a vertex of this Geometry (usually, but not necessarily, the first one). The returned coordinate should not be assumed to be an actual Coordinate object used in the internal representation.

Specified by:
getCoordinate in class Geometry
Returns:
a Coordinate which is a vertex of this Geometry.

getCoordinates

public Coordinate[] getCoordinates()
Collects all coordinates of all subgeometries into an Array. Note that while changes to the coordinate objects themselves may modify the Geometries in place, the returned Array as such is only a temporary container which is not synchronized back.

Specified by:
getCoordinates in class Geometry
Returns:
the collected coordinates
See Also:
Geometry.geometryChanged(), CoordinateSequence.setOrdinate(int, int, double)

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns whether or not the set of points in this Geometry is empty.

Specified by:
isEmpty in class Geometry
Returns:
true if this Geometry equals the empty geometry

getDimension

public int getDimension()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the dimension of this geometry. The dimension of a geometry is is the topological dimension of its embedding in the 2-D Euclidean plane. In the JTS spatial model, dimension values are in the set {0,1,2}.

Note that this is a different concept to the dimension of the vertex Coordinates. The geometry dimension can never be greater than the coordinate dimension. For example, a 0-dimensional geometry (e.g. a Point) may have a coordinate dimension of 3 (X,Y,Z).

Specified by:
getDimension in class Geometry
Returns:
the topological dimension of this geometry.

getBoundaryDimension

public int getBoundaryDimension()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the dimension of this Geometrys inherent boundary.

Specified by:
getBoundaryDimension in class Geometry
Returns:
the dimension of the boundary of the class implementing this interface, whether or not this object is the empty geometry. Returns Dimension.FALSE if the boundary is the empty geometry.

getNumGeometries

public int getNumGeometries()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the number of Geometrys in a GeometryCollection (or 1, if the geometry is not a collection).

Overrides:
getNumGeometries in class Geometry
Returns:
the number of geometries contained in this geometry

getGeometryN

public Geometry getGeometryN(int n)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns an element Geometry from a GeometryCollection (or this, if the geometry is not a collection).

Overrides:
getGeometryN in class Geometry
Parameters:
n - the index of the geometry element
Returns:
the n'th geometry contained in this geometry

getNumPoints

public int getNumPoints()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the count of this Geometrys vertices. The Geometry s contained by composite Geometrys must be Geometry's; that is, they must implement getNumPoints

Specified by:
getNumPoints in class Geometry
Returns:
the number of vertices in this Geometry

getGeometryType

public java.lang.String getGeometryType()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the name of this object's com.vivid.jts.geom interface.

Specified by:
getGeometryType in class Geometry
Returns:
the name of this Geometrys most specific com.vividsolutions.jts.geom interface

getBoundary

public Geometry getBoundary()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the boundary, or an empty geometry of appropriate dimension if this Geometry is empty. (In the case of zero-dimensional geometries, ' an empty GeometryCollection is returned.) For a discussion of this function, see the OpenGIS Simple Features Specification. As stated in SFS Section 2.1.13.1, "the boundary of a Geometry is a set of Geometries of the next lower dimension."

Specified by:
getBoundary in class Geometry
Returns:
the closure of the combinatorial boundary of this Geometry

getArea

public double getArea()
Returns the area of this GeometryCollection

Overrides:
getArea in class Geometry
Returns:
the area of the polygon

getLength

public double getLength()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the length of this Geometry. Linear geometries return their length. Areal geometries return their perimeter. They override this function to compute the area. Others return 0.0

Overrides:
getLength in class Geometry
Returns:
the length of the Geometry

equalsExact

public boolean equalsExact(Geometry other,
                           double tolerance)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns true if the two Geometrys are exactly equal, up to a specified distance tolerance. Two Geometries are exactly equal within a distance tolerance if and only if: This method does not test the values of the GeometryFactory, the SRID, or the userData fields.

To properly test equality between different geometries, it is usually necessary to Geometry.normalize() them first.

Specified by:
equalsExact in class Geometry
Parameters:
other - the Geometry with which to compare this Geometry
tolerance - distance at or below which two Coordinates are considered equal
Returns:
true if this and the other Geometry have identical structure and point values, up to the distance tolerance.
See Also:
Geometry.equalsExact(Geometry), Geometry.normalize(), Geometry.norm()

apply

public void apply(CoordinateFilter filter)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Performs an operation with or on this Geometry's coordinates. If this method modifies any coordinate values, Geometry.geometryChanged() must be called to update the geometry state. Note that you cannot use this method to modify this Geometry if its underlying CoordinateSequence's #get method returns a copy of the Coordinate, rather than the actual Coordinate stored (if it even stores Coordinate objects at all).

Specified by:
apply in class Geometry
Parameters:
filter - the filter to apply to this Geometry's coordinates

apply

public void apply(CoordinateSequenceFilter filter)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Performs an operation on the coordinates in this Geometry's CoordinateSequences. If the filter reports that a coordinate value has been changed, Geometry.geometryChanged() will be called automatically.

Specified by:
apply in class Geometry
Parameters:
filter - the filter to apply

apply

public void apply(GeometryFilter filter)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Performs an operation with or on this Geometry and its subelement Geometrys (if any). Only GeometryCollections and subclasses have subelement Geometry's.

Specified by:
apply in class Geometry
Parameters:
filter - the filter to apply to this Geometry (and its children, if it is a GeometryCollection).

apply

public void apply(GeometryComponentFilter filter)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Performs an operation with or on this Geometry and its component Geometry's. Only GeometryCollections and Polygons have component Geometry's; for Polygons they are the LinearRings of the shell and holes.

Specified by:
apply in class Geometry
Parameters:
filter - the filter to apply to this Geometry.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Creates and returns a full copy of this GeometryCollection object. (including all coordinates contained by it).

Overrides:
clone in class Geometry
Returns:
a clone of this instance

normalize

public void normalize()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Converts this Geometry to normal form (or canonical form ). Normal form is a unique representation for Geometry s. It can be used to test whether two Geometrys are equal in a way that is independent of the ordering of the coordinates within them. Normal form equality is a stronger condition than topological equality, but weaker than pointwise equality. The definitions for normal form use the standard lexicographical ordering for coordinates. "Sorted in order of coordinates" means the obvious extension of this ordering to sequences of coordinates.

NOTE that this method mutates the value of this geometry in-place. If this is not safe and/or wanted, the geometry should be cloned prior to normalization.

Specified by:
normalize in class Geometry

computeEnvelopeInternal

protected Envelope computeEnvelopeInternal()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the minimum and maximum x and y values in this Geometry , or a null Envelope if this Geometry is empty. Unlike getEnvelopeInternal, this method calculates the Envelope each time it is called; getEnvelopeInternal caches the result of this method.

Specified by:
computeEnvelopeInternal in class Geometry
Returns:
this Geometrys bounding box; if the Geometry is empty, Envelope#isNull will return true

compareToSameClass

protected int compareToSameClass(java.lang.Object o)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns whether this Geometry is greater than, equal to, or less than another Geometry having the same class.

Specified by:
compareToSameClass in class Geometry
Parameters:
o - a Geometry having the same class as this Geometry
Returns:
a positive number, 0, or a negative number, depending on whether this object is greater than, equal to, or less than o, as defined in "Normal Form For Geometry" in the JTS Technical Specifications

compareToSameClass

protected int compareToSameClass(java.lang.Object o,
                                 CoordinateSequenceComparator comp)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns whether this Geometry is greater than, equal to, or less than another Geometry of the same class. using the given CoordinateSequenceComparator.

Specified by:
compareToSameClass in class Geometry
Parameters:
o - a Geometry having the same class as this Geometry
comp - a CoordinateSequenceComparator
Returns:
a positive number, 0, or a negative number, depending on whether this object is greater than, equal to, or less than o, as defined in "Normal Form For Geometry" in the JTS Technical Specifications

reverse

public Geometry reverse()
Creates a GeometryCollection with every component reversed. The order of the components in the collection are not reversed.

Specified by:
reverse in class Geometry
Returns:
a GeometryCollection in the reverse order
