Method Summary

int	getByteLength()
ShapeEnvelope	getEnvelope()
Geometry	getGeometry()
int	getType()
int	read(byte[] bytes, int offset) Reads the object from a byte array.
int	write(byte[] bytes, int offset) Writes the object to a byte array.

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
