Class KMLWriter

java.lang.Object

com.vividsolutions.jts.io.kml.KMLWriter

public class KMLWriter
extends Object

Writes a formatted string containing the KML representation of a JTS Geometry. The output is KML fragments which can be substituted wherever the KML Geometry abstract element can be used.

Output elements are indented to provide a nicely-formatted representation. An output line prefix and maximum number of coordinates per line can be specified.

The Z ordinate value output can be forced to be a specific value. The extrude and altitudeMode modes can be set. If set, the corresponding sub-elements will be output.

Method Detail

writeGeometry

public static String writeGeometry(Geometry geometry,
                   double z)

Writes a Geometry as KML to a string, using a specified Z value.

Parameters:

geometry - the geometry to write

z - the Z value to use

Returns:

a string containing the KML geometry representation

writeGeometry

public static String writeGeometry(Geometry geometry,
                   double z,
                   int precision,
                   boolean extrude,
                   String altitudeMode)

Writes a Geometry as KML to a string, using a specified Z value, precision, extrude flag, and altitude mode code.

Parameters:

geometry - the geometry to write

z - the Z value to use

precision - the maximum number of decimal places to write

extrude - the extrude flag to write

altitudeMode - the altitude model code to write

Returns:

a string containing the KML geometry representation

setLinePrefix

public void setLinePrefix(String linePrefix)

Sets a tag string which is prefixed to every emitted text line. This can be used to indent the geometry text in a containing document.

Parameters:

linePrefix - the tag string

setMaximumCoordinatesPerLine

public void setMaximumCoordinatesPerLine(int maxCoordinatesPerLine)

Sets the maximum number of coordinates to output per line.

Parameters:

maxCoordinatesPerLine - the maximum number of coordinates to output

setZ

public void setZ(double zVal)

Sets the Z value to be output for all coordinates. This overrides any Z value present in the Geometry coordinates.

Parameters:

zVal - the Z value to output

setExtrude

public void setExtrude(boolean extrude)

Sets the flag to be output in the extrude element.

Parameters:

extrude - the extrude flag to output

setTesselate

public void setTesselate(boolean tesselate)

Sets the flag to be output in the tesselate element.

Parameters:

tesselate - the tesselate flag to output

setAltitudeMode

public void setAltitudeMode(String altitudeMode)

Sets the value output in the altitudeMode element.

Parameters:

altitudeMode - string representing the altitude mode

setPrecision

public void setPrecision(int precision)

Sets the maximum nummber of decimal places to output in ordinate values. Useful for limiting output size.

Parameters:

precision - the number of decimal places to output

write

public String write(Geometry geom)

Writes a Geometry in KML format as a string.

Parameters:

geom - the geometry to write

Returns:

a string containing the KML geometry representation

write

public void write(Geometry geometry,
         Writer writer)
           throws IOException

Writes the KML representation of a Geometry to a Writer.

Parameters:

geometry - the geometry to write

writer - the Writer to write to

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurred

write

public void write(Geometry geometry,
         StringBuffer buf)

Appends the KML representation of a Geometry to a StringBuffer.

Parameters:

geometry - the geometry to write

buf - the buffer to write into
