Method Detail

findResult

public CountryResult findResult(float latDeg,
                                float lonDeg)
Description copied from class: GeneralMap
Returns a results map query result. All result classes extend 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.

Specified by:
findResult in class GeneralMap<CountryResult>
Parameters:
latDeg - the latitude of the query point, expressed in degrees.
lonDeg - the longitude of the query point, expressed in degrees.
Returns:
the result for the given latitude and longitude, or null if none is found.

create

public static CountryMap create(java.io.InputStream dataFileStream)
                         throws java.lang.Exception
Static factory method used to construct an instance of this class.

Parameters:
dataFileStream - an input stream of the companion data file for this class.
Returns:
a instance of this class with default parameters.
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - e if the wrong data file is provided.

create

public static CountryMap create(java.io.InputStream dataFileStream,
                                float cellsPerDeg,
                                float snapRadiusKm)
                         throws java.lang.Exception
Static factory method used to construct an instance of this class.

Parameters:
dataFileStream - an input stream of the companion data file for this class.
cellsPerDeg - is the resolution of the spatial index. Testing has show that a suitable value for this parameter is 1.0, which is the default value.
snapRadiusKm - is the maximum snap-to distance for query points not inside any shape on the map.
Returns:
an instance of this class with given parameters.
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - e if the wrong data file is provided.

getOracleNameStatic

public static java.lang.String getOracleNameStatic()
A unique identifier for this map, used in the license file and in the AskGeo Web API.

Returns:
the unique identifier for this map.

getOracleName

public java.lang.String getOracleName()
Description copied from class: GeneralMap
A unique identifier for this map, used in the license file and in the AskGeo Web API.

Specified by:
getOracleName in class GeneralMap<CountryResult>
Returns:
the unique identifier for this map.
