Detailed Description

A factory to create concrete instances of CoordinateSequences.

Used to configure GeometryFactorys to provide specific kinds of CoordinateSequences.


Member Function Documentation

virtual CoordinateSequence* geos::geom::CoordinateSequenceFactory::create ( const CoordinateSequence coordSeq  )  const [pure virtual]

Creates a CoordinateSequence which is a copy of the given one.

This method must handle null arguments by creating an empty sequence.

Parameters:
coordSeq the coordinate sequence to copy

Implemented in geos::geom::CoordinateArraySequenceFactory.

virtual CoordinateSequence* geos::geom::CoordinateSequenceFactory::create ( std::size_t  size,
std::size_t  dimension 
) const [pure virtual]

Creates a CoordinateSequence of the specified size and dimension.

For this to be useful, the CoordinateSequence implementation must be mutable.

Parameters:
size the number of coordinates in the sequence
dimension the dimension of the coordinates in the sequence (0=unknown, 2, or 3 - ignored if not user specifiable)

Implemented in geos::geom::CoordinateArraySequenceFactory.

virtual CoordinateSequence* geos::geom::CoordinateSequenceFactory::create ( std::vector< Coordinate > *  coordinates,
std::size_t  dimension = 0 
) const [pure virtual]

Returns a CoordinateSequence based on the given array.

Whether the array is copied or simply referenced is implementation-dependent. For this reason caller does give up ownership of it. Implementations that will not copy it will need take care of deleting it.

This method must handle null arguments by creating an empty sequence.

Parameters:
coordinates the coordinates
dimension 0, 2 or 3 with 0 indicating unknown at this time.

Implemented in geos::geom::CoordinateArraySequenceFactory.
