Interface CoordinateSequenceFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

CoordinateArraySequenceFactory, DefaultCoordinateSequenceFactory, ExtendedCoordinateSequenceFactory, PackedCoordinateSequenceFactory

public interface CoordinateSequenceFactory

A factory to create concrete instances of CoordinateSequences. Used to configure GeometryFactorys to provide specific kinds of CoordinateSequences.

Version:

1.7

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
CoordinateSequence	create(Coordinate[] coordinates) Returns a CoordinateSequence based on the given array.
CoordinateSequence	create(CoordinateSequence coordSeq) Creates a CoordinateSequence which is a copy of the given CoordinateSequence.
CoordinateSequence	create(int size, int dimension) Creates a CoordinateSequence of the specified size and dimension.

Method Detail

create

CoordinateSequence create(Coordinate[] coordinates)

Returns a CoordinateSequence based on the given array. Whether the array is copied or simply referenced is implementation-dependent. This method must handle null arguments by creating an empty sequence.

Parameters:

coordinates - the coordinates

create

CoordinateSequence create(CoordinateSequence coordSeq)

Creates a CoordinateSequence which is a copy of the given CoordinateSequence. This method must handle null arguments by creating an empty sequence.

Parameters:

coordSeq - the coordinate sequence to copy

create

CoordinateSequence create(int size,
                          int dimension)

Creates a CoordinateSequence of the specified size and dimension. For this to be useful, the CoordinateSequence implementation must be mutable.

Parameters:

size - the number of coordinates in the sequence

dimension - the dimension of the coordinates in the sequence (if user-specifiable, otherwise ignored)
