Enum Constant Detail

CARTESIAN

public static final ComputationType CARTESIAN

The geometry coordinates are interpreted using cartesian logic.

The geometry is treated as points on a flat plane. This computation type can be used with projected and non-earth coordinate systems.

SPHERICAL

public static final ComputationType SPHERICAL

The geometry coordinates are interpreted using spherical logic.

The geometry is treated as points on a perfect (non-flattened) sphere. This computation type can be used with geographic (LongLat) and projected coordinate systems.

Method Detail

values

public static ComputationType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ComputationType c : ComputationType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ComputationType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
