getTypeString

public String getTypeString()

Given a request type, return the equivalent string. For diagnostic purposes.

Overrides:

getTypeString in class XObject

Returns:

type string "#NODESET"

getNumberFromNode

public double getNumberFromNode(int n)

Get numeric value of the string conversion from a single node.

Parameters:

n - Node to convert

Returns:

numeric value of the string conversion from a single node.

num

public double num()

Cast result object to a number, but allow side effects, such as the incrementing of an iterator.

Overrides:

numWithSideEffects in class XObject

Returns:

numeric value of the string conversion from the next node in the NodeSetDTM, or NAN if no node was found

bool

public boolean bool()
