Constructor Detail

Segment

public Segment()
Creates a segment with start and end points (0,0).

Method Detail

queryStart

public void queryStart(Point dstPoint)
Returns coordinates of the start point in a Point class.


setStart

public void setStart(Point srcPoint)
Sets the coordinates of the start point in this segment.

Parameters:
srcPoint - The new start point of this segment.

getStartX

public double getStartX()
Returns the X coordinate of starting point.

Returns:
The X coordinate of starting point.

getStartY

public double getStartY()
Returns the Y coordinate of starting point.

Returns:
The Y coordinate of starting point.

getEndX

public double getEndX()
Returns the X coordinate of ending point.

Returns:
The X coordinate of ending point.

getEndY

public double getEndY()
Returns the Y coordinate of ending point.

Returns:
The Y coordinate of ending point.

queryEnd

public void queryEnd(Point dstPoint)
Returns coordinates of the end point in this segment.

Parameters:
dstPoint - The end point of this segment.

setEnd

public void setEnd(Point srcPoint)
Sets the coordinates of the end point in a Point class.

Parameters:
srcPoint - The new end point of this segment.

getDimension

public final int getDimension()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Returns the topological dimension of the geometry object based on the geometry's type.

Returns 0 for point and multipoint.

Returns 1 for lines and polylines.

Returns 2 for polygons and envelopes

Returns 3 for objects with volume

Specified by:
getDimension in class Geometry
Returns:
Returns the integer value of the dimension of geometry.

isEmpty

public final boolean isEmpty()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Indicates if the geometry object contains geometric information. IsEmpty returns true when the geometry object does not contain geometric information beyond its original initialization state.

Specified by:
isEmpty in class Geometry
Returns:
boolean Returns true if this geometry is empty.

setEmpty

public final void setEmpty()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Sets the geometry to its original initialization state by releasing all data referenced by the geometry.

Specified by:
setEmpty in class Geometry

calculateArea2D

public double calculateArea2D()
Description copied from class: Geometry
Calculates the area of the geometry. If the spatial reference is a Geographic Coordinate System (WGS84) then the 2D area calculation is defined in angular units.

Overrides:
calculateArea2D in class Geometry
Returns:
A double value representing the 2D area of the geometry.

isEmptyImpl

public boolean isEmptyImpl()
Non public abstract version of the function.


copyTo

public void copyTo(Geometry dst)
Description copied from class: Geometry
Copies this geometry to another geometry of the same type. The result geometry is an exact copy.

Specified by:
copyTo in class Geometry

intersectionWithAxis2D

public abstract int intersectionWithAxis2D(boolean bAxisX,
                                           double ordinate,
                                           double[] resultOrdinates,
                                           double[] parameters)
Calculates intersection points of this segment with an infinite line, parallel to one of the axes.

Parameters:
bAxisX - TRUE if the function works with the line parallel to the axis X.
ordinate - The ordinate value of the line (x for axis Y, y for axis X).
resultOrdinates - The value of ordinate in the intersection points One ordinate is equal to the ordinate parameter. This parameter can be NULL.
parameters - The value of the parameter in the intersection points (between 0 and 1). This parameter can be NULL.
Returns:
The number of intersection points, 0 when no intersection points exist, -1 when the segment coincides with the line (infinite number of intersection points).
