ShapeType (Geotools modules 13-SNAPSHOT API)

Object
- ShapeType

```
public final class ShapeType
extends Object
```
Not much but a type safe enumeration of file types as ints and names. The descriptions can easily be tied to a ResourceBundle if someone wants to do that.

  - name
```
public final String name
```

    Could easily use ResourceBundle for internationialization.
- Constructor Detail
  - ShapeType
```
protected ShapeType(int id,
         String name)
```
    Creates a new instance of ShapeType. Hidden on purpose.
    
    Parameters:
    id - The id.
    name - The name.
- Method Detail
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Get the name of this ShapeType.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    The name.
  - isMultiPoint
```
public boolean isMultiPoint()
```
    Is this a multipoint shape? Hint- all shapes are multipoint except NULL, UNDEFINED, and the POINTs.
    
    Returns:
    true if multipoint, false otherwise.
  - isPointType
```
public boolean isPointType()
```
  - isLineType
```
public boolean isLineType()
```
  - isPolygonType
```
public boolean isPolygonType()
```
  - isMultiPointType
```
public boolean isMultiPointType()
```
  - forID
```
public static ShapeType forID(int id)
```
    Determine the ShapeType for the id.
    
    Parameters:
    id - The id to search for.
    
    Returns:
    The ShapeType for the id.
  - getShapeHandler
```
public ShapeHandler getShapeHandler(GeometryFactory gf)
                             throws ShapefileException
```
    Each ShapeType corresponds to a handler. In the future this should probably go else where to allow different handlers, or something...
    
    Returns:
    The correct handler for this ShapeType. Returns a new one.
    
    Throws:
    
    ShapefileException - If the ShapeType is bogus.
