Enum ValidationRule

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<ValidationRule>

com.spatial4j.core.context.jts.ValidationRule

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ValidationRule>

public enum ValidationRule
extends Enum<ValidationRule>

Indicates how JTS geometries (notably polygons but applies to other geometries too) are validated (if at all) and repaired (if at all). This setting usually only applies to ShapeReader.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
error Geometries will be explicitly validated on creation, possibly resulting in an exception: InvalidShapeException.
none Geometries will not be validated (because it's kinda expensive to calculate).
repairBuffer0 Invalid polygons are repaired using the buffer(0) technique.
repairConvexHull Invalid Geometries are repaired by taking the convex hull.

Enum Constant Detail

none

public static final ValidationRule none

Geometries will not be validated (because it's kinda expensive to calculate). You may or may not ultimately get an error at some point; results are undefined. However, note that coordinates will still be validated for falling within the world boundaries.

See Also:

Geometry.isValid().

error

public static final ValidationRule error

Geometries will be explicitly validated on creation, possibly resulting in an exception: InvalidShapeException.

repairConvexHull

public static final ValidationRule repairConvexHull

Invalid Geometries are repaired by taking the convex hull. The result will very likely be a larger shape that matches false-positives, but no false-negatives. See Geometry.convexHull().

repairBuffer0

public static final ValidationRule repairBuffer0

Invalid polygons are repaired using the buffer(0) technique. From the JTS FAQ:

The buffer operation is fairly insensitive to topological invalidity, and the act of computing the buffer can often resolve minor issues such as self-intersecting rings. However, in some situations the computed result may not be what is desired (i.e. the buffer operation may be "confused" by certain topologies, and fail to produce a result which is close to the original. An example where this can happen is a "bow-tie: or "figure-8" polygon, with one very small lobe and one large one. Depending on the orientations of the lobes, the buffer(0) operation may keep the small lobe and discard the "valid" large lobe).

Method Detail

values

public static ValidationRule[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ValidationRule c : ValidationRule.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ValidationRule valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
