java.lang.Object com.askgeo.dbl.base.GeneralMap<ResultType>
ResultType
- is the generic subclass of ResultBase that defines the return type for a number of the methods
in GeneralMap, most notably findResult.public abstract class GeneralMap<ResultType extends ResultBase>
All the map classes in AskGeo derive directly or indirectly from GeneralMap. GeneralMap implements the basic functionality shared among all of the maps.
A GeneralMap contains a representation of a map that covers part or all of the Earth. These are defined by a set of polygonal shapes. Each shape represents a geographic entity that might be of interest to the user of the map. Subclasses of GeneralMap allow the user to query a given latitude and longitude and to get a result back that contains polygonal data that defines the shape, as well as metadata associated with that shape. In some cases, additional metadata that is external to the map but is associated with the shapes in the map is also returned (such as with maps based on data from the US Census Bureau). In the event that a query point is not inside any of the shapes in the map, a GeneralMap may also snap to a nearby shape and use that to build the result object. Whether or not this is the case, and the distance from the query point to the shape is also returned in the result object.

public abstract ResultType findResult(double latDeg, double lonDeg)
ResultBase
but the specific subclass returned
depends on what map class is being used. Each map class has a companion result class. If no shape is found
at or near the query point, null
is returned.
latDeg
- the latitude of the query point, expressed in degrees.lonDeg
- the longitude of the query point, expressed in degrees.
null
if none is found.public java.util.Vector<ResultType> getAllResults()
