Method Detail

read

int read(byte[] bytes,
         int offset)
Reads the object from a byte array.

Parameters:
bytes -
offset - where to start reading
Returns:
the new offset or -1, if the type was wrong.

write

int write(byte[] bytes,
          int offset)
Writes the object to a byte array.

Parameters:
bytes -
offset -
Returns:
the new offset.

getByteLength

int getByteLength()
Returns:
the number of bytes necessary to write this instance.

getType

int getType()
Returns:
the type of the shape

getEnvelope

ShapeEnvelope getEnvelope()
Returns:
the shapes' envelope, or null, if it has none

getGeometry

Geometry getGeometry()
                     throws ShapeGeometryException
Returns:
the shape as deegree Geometry
Throws:
ShapeGeometryException - if the deegree geometry could not be constructed
