Method Detail

addToXmlElement

org.w3c.dom.Element addToXmlElement(org.w3c.dom.Element element)

Adds this Eyepiece to a given parent XML DOM Element. The Eyepiece element will be set as a child element of the passed element.

Parameters:

parent - The parent element for this Eyepiece

Returns:

Returns the element given as parameter with this Eyepiece as child element.
Might return null if parent was null.

Element

addAsLinkToXmlElement

org.w3c.dom.Element addAsLinkToXmlElement(org.w3c.dom.Element parent)

Adds the eyepiece link to an given XML DOM Element The eyepiece element itself will be attached to given elements ownerDocument. If the ownerDocument has no eyepiece container, it will be created.
Example:
<parameterElement>
<eyepieceLink>123</eyepieceLink>
</parameterElement>
More stuff of the xml document goes here
<eyepieceContainer>
<eyepiece id="123">
eyepiece description goes here
</eyepiece>
</eyepieceContainer>

Parameters:

parent - The element under which the the eyepiece link is created

Returns:

Returns the Element given as parameter with a additional eyepiece link, and the eyepiece element under the eyepiece container of the ownerDocument Might return null if element was null.

getApparentFOV

Angle getApparentFOV()

Returns the apparent field of view of this eyepiece.

Returns:

Returns the apparent field of view of this eyepiece. The Angles value cannot be negative or 0.
If null is returned the apparent field of view value was never set.

Angle

getFocalLength

float getFocalLength()

Returns the focal length of this eyepiece. The focal length of the telescope divided by the focal length of the eyepiece equals the amplification.

Returns:

Returns the focal length of the eyepiece.

getModel

java.lang.String getModel()

Returns the model name of the eyepiece.

Returns:

Returns a String representing the eyepieces model name.
If null is returned the model name was never set.

getVendor

java.lang.String getVendor()

Returns the vendor name of the eyepiece.

Returns:

Returns a String representing the eyepieces vendor name.
If null is returned the vendor name was never set.

setApparentFOV

boolean setApparentFOV(Angle apparentFOV)

Sets the apparent field of view of this eyepiece.
The field of view Angle cannot be negative or 0.

Parameters:

apparentFOV - The new apparent field of view to be set.

Returns:

Returns true if the new apparent field of view could be set. If false is returned the parameter was null, or the Angles value was negative or 0 (apparent field of view will not be changed if false is returned).

setFocalLength

void setFocalLength(float focalLength)

Sets the focal length of the eyepiece.

Parameters:

focalLength - The new focal length to be set.
