Method Detail

getGeometryFactory

public static GeometryFactory getGeometryFactory(Hints hints)
                                          throws FactoryRegistryException
Deprecated. 
Returns the first implementation of GeometryFactory matching the specified hints. If no implementation matches, a new one is created if possible or an exception is thrown otherwise.

Hints that may be understood includes JTS_COORDINATE_SEQUENCE_FACTORY, JTS_PRECISION_MODEL and JTS_SRID.

Parameters:
hints - An optional map of hints, or null if none.
Returns:
The first geometry factory that matches the supplied hints.
Throws:
FactoryRegistryException - if no implementation was found or can be created for the GeometryFactory category and the given hints.

getGeometryFactories

public static Set getGeometryFactories()
Deprecated. 
Returns a set of all available implementations for the GeometryFactory category.

Returns:
Set of available geometry factory implementations.

getPrecisionModel

public static PrecisionModel getPrecisionModel(Hints hints)
                                        throws FactoryRegistryException
Deprecated. 
Returns the first implementation of PrecisionModel matching the specified hints. If no implementation matches, a new one is created if possible or an exception is thrown otherwise.

Parameters:
hints - An optional map of hints, or null if none.
Returns:
The first precision model that matches the supplied hints.
Throws:
FactoryRegistryException - if no implementation was found or can be created for the PrecisionModel category and the given hints.

getPrecisionModels

public static Set getPrecisionModels()
Deprecated. 
Returns a set of all available implementations for the PrecisionModel category.

Returns:
Set of available precision model implementations.

getCoordinateSequenceFactory

public static CoordinateSequenceFactory getCoordinateSequenceFactory(Hints hints)
                                                              throws FactoryRegistryException
Deprecated. 
Returns the first implementation of CoordinateSequenceFactory matching the specified hints. If no implementation matches, a new one is created if possible or an exception is thrown otherwise.

Parameters:
hints - An optional map of hints, or null if none.
Returns:
The first coordinate sequence factory that matches the supplied hints.
Throws:
FactoryRegistryException - if no implementation was found or can be created for the CoordinateSequenceFactory interface and the given hints.

getCoordinateSequenceFactories

public static Set getCoordinateSequenceFactories()
Deprecated. 
Returns a set of all available implementations for the CoordinateSequenceFactory interface.

Returns:
Set of available coordinate sequence factory implementations.

scanForPlugins

public static void scanForPlugins()
Deprecated. 
Scans for factory plug-ins on the application class path. This method is needed because the application class path can theoretically change, or additional plug-ins may become available. Rather than re-scanning the classpath on every invocation of the API, the class path is scanned automatically only on the first invocation. Clients can call this method to prompt a re-scan. Thus this method need only be invoked by sophisticated applications which dynamically make new plug-ins available at runtime.
