Class GeometricShapeFactory

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    SineStarFactory

    public class GeometricShapeFactory
    extends java.lang.Object
    Computes various kinds of common geometric shapes. Provides various ways of specifying the location and extent and rotations of the generated shapes, as well as number of line segments used to form them.

    Example of usage:

      GeometricShapeFactory gsf = new GeometricShapeFactory();
      gsf.setSize(100);
      gsf.setNumPoints(100);
      gsf.setBase(new Coordinate(100, 100));
      gsf.setRotation(0.5);
      Polygon rect = gsf.createRectangle();

    • Constructor Detail

      • GeometricShapeFactory

        public GeometricShapeFactory()
        Create a shape factory which will create shapes using the default GeometryFactory.
      • GeometricShapeFactory

        public GeometricShapeFactory​(GeometryFactory geomFact)
        Create a shape factory which will create shapes using the given GeometryFactory.
        Parameters:
        geomFact - the factory to use
    • Method Detail

      • setEnvelope

        public void setEnvelope​(Envelope env)
      • setBase

        public void setBase​(Coordinate base)
        Sets the location of the shape by specifying the base coordinate (which in most cases is the lower left point of the envelope containing the shape).
        Parameters:
        base - the base coordinate of the shape
      • setCentre

        public void setCentre​(Coordinate centre)
        Sets the location of the shape by specifying the centre of the shape's bounding box
        Parameters:
        centre - the centre coordinate of the shape
      • setNumPoints

        public void setNumPoints​(int nPts)
        Sets the total number of points in the created Geometry. The created geometry will have no more than this number of points, unless more are needed to create a valid geometry.
      • setSize

        public void setSize​(double size)
        Sets the size of the extent of the shape in both x and y directions.
        Parameters:
        size - the size of the shape's extent
      • setWidth

        public void setWidth​(double width)
        Sets the width of the shape.
        Parameters:
        width - the width of the shape
      • setHeight

        public void setHeight​(double height)
        Sets the height of the shape.
        Parameters:
        height - the height of the shape
      • setRotation

        public void setRotation​(double radians)
        Sets the rotation angle to use for the shape. The rotation is applied relative to the centre of the shape.
        Parameters:
        radians - the rotation angle in radians.
      • createRectangle

        public Polygon createRectangle()
        Creates a rectangular Polygon.
        Returns:
        a rectangular Polygon
      • createCircle

        public Polygon createCircle()
        Creates a circular or elliptical Polygon.
        Returns:
        a circle or ellipse
      • createEllipse

        public Polygon createEllipse()
        Creates an elliptical Polygon. If the supplied envelope is square the result will be a circle.
        Returns:
        an ellipse or circle
      • createSquircle

        public Polygon createSquircle()
        Creates a squircular Polygon.
        Returns:
        a squircle
      • createSupercircle

        public Polygon createSupercircle​(double power)
        Creates a supercircular Polygon of a given positive power.
        Returns:
        a supercircle
      • createArc

        public LineString createArc​(double startAng,
                                    double angExtent)
        Creates an elliptical arc, as a LineString. The arc is always created in a counter-clockwise direction. This can easily be reversed if required by using {#link LineString.reverse()}
        Parameters:
        startAng - start angle in radians
        angExtent - size of angle in radians
        Returns:
        an elliptical arc
      • createArcPolygon

        public Polygon createArcPolygon​(double startAng,
                                        double angExtent)
        Creates an elliptical arc polygon. The polygon is formed from the specified arc of an ellipse and the two radii connecting the endpoints to the centre of the ellipse.
        Parameters:
        startAng - start angle in radians
        angExtent - size of angle in radians
        Returns:
        an elliptical arc polygon
