Interface CoordinateTuple

All Known Subinterfaces:

Coord

All Known Implementing Classes:

CoordImpl, CoordinateTupleImpl

public interface CoordinateTuple

Defines the interface that every GML coordinate tuple must implement. A coordinate tuple does NOT have a corresponding GML element. It is an abstraction of a coordinate tuple, which may appear in coord and coordinates GML constructs. Coord, which is a coordinate tuple with a corresponding GML element, extends this interface.

Method Detail

getX

Coordinate getX()

Convenience method to retrieve the first coordinate.

Returns:

Cannot be null.

getY

Coordinate getY()

Convenience method to retrieve the second coordinate.

Returns:

Can be null if Y-coordinate is not present.

getZ

Coordinate getZ()

Convenience method to retrieve the third coordinate.

Returns:

Can be null if Z-coordinate is not present.

getCoordinate

Coordinate getCoordinate(int index)

Returns the n-th coordinate of this coordinate tuple.

Parameters:

index - Represents an index into the coordinate tuple. The lowest index is 0.

Returns:

Returns null if the index is out of range.
