Method Details

getFromCurvimetricPosition

double getFromCurvimetricPosition()

Returns the curvimetric position defining the start of the Attribute validity.

Returns:

the curvimetric position defining the start of the Attribute validity.

getToCurvimetricPosition

double getToCurvimetricPosition()

Returns the curvimetric position defining the end of the Attribute validity.

Returns:

the curvimetric position defining the end of the Attribute validity.

isCurvimetricPositionRelative

boolean isCurvimetricPositionRelative()

Returns true if the curvimetric positions are relative. If false, the positions are absolute.

Returns:

true if the curvimetric positions are relative, falseotherwise.

getValidityDirection

ILcdGDFAttribute.Direction getValidityDirection()

Returns the validity direction for the attribute values.

Returns:

one of POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, or BOTH.

getAttributeCount

int getAttributeCount()

Returns the number of (attribute type, attribute value) pairs in this attribute.

Returns:

the number of attribute pairs in the attribute.

getAttributeType

TLcdGDFAttributeType getAttributeType(int aIndex)

Returns the attribute type of the attribute at the given index.

Parameters:

aIndex - the index of the attribute whose type is to be returned.

Returns:

the attribute type of the attribute at the given index.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if aIndex < 0 || aIndex >= getAttributeCount().

getSourceDescription

ILcdGDFSourceDescription getSourceDescription(int aIndex)

Returns the source description of the attribute at the given index, or null if none exists.

Parameters:

aIndex - the index of the attribute whose source description is to be returned.

Returns:

the source description of the attribute at the given index.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if aIndex < 0 || aIndex >= getAttributeCount().

getAttributeValue

Object getAttributeValue(int aIndex)

Returns the attribute value at the given index.

Parameters:

aIndex - the index of the attribute whose value is to be returned.

Returns:

the attribute value at the given index.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if aIndex < 0 || aIndex >= getAttributeCount().
