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.

Since:

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.

Since:

1.0

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

Since:

1.0

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.

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).

Since:
