Interface TrajectoryFeature

All Superinterfaces:

FeatureCollection, PointFeatureCollection

All Known Implementing Classes:

TrajectoryFeatureImpl

public interface TrajectoryFeature
extends PointFeatureCollection

A set of observations along a 1 dimensional path, connected in space and time. The observations are ordered in time (in other words, the time dimension must increase monotonically along the trajectory).

Method Detail

size

int size()

The number of points along the trajectory. May not be known until after iterating through the collection.

Specified by:

size in interface PointFeatureCollection

Returns:

number of points along the trajectory, or -1 if not known.

getDateRange

DateRange getDateRange()

DateRange for the points along the trajectory. May not be known until after iterating through the collection.

Specified by:

getDateRange in interface PointFeatureCollection

Returns:

stating date for the trajectory, or null if not known

getBoundingBox

LatLonRect getBoundingBox()

BoundingBox for the trajectory. May not be known until after iterating through the collection.

Specified by:

getBoundingBox in interface PointFeatureCollection

Returns:

BoundingBox for the trajectory, or null if not known.
