Class BasicFeatureTypes


  • public class BasicFeatureTypes
    extends Object
    Defines required attributes for Annotations.

    Annotations represent a text based geographic feature. The geometry stored in the feature indicates where the text should be drawn and the attribute indicated by the #ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE_NAME attribute holds the text to be displayed for the feature.

    Example:

       if ( feature.getFeatureType().isDescendedFrom( AnnotationFeatureType.ANNOTATION ) )
       {
         String attributeName = (String)feature.getAttribute( AnnotationFeatureType.ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE_NAME );
         String annotationText = (String)feature.getAttribute( attributeName );
         ... // Do something with the annotation text and feature
       }
