GeometryCollector (Geotools modules 32-SNAPSHOT API)

Object
- GeometryCollector

```
public class GeometryCollector
extends Object
```
A stateful geometry collector that will add all geometries into a single resulting geometry collection with the following properties:
- the elements of the resulting geometry are simple geometries, adding a geometry collection will result in it being flattened
- the resulting geometry collection type will match its contents, a generic geometry collection will be used only in case of heterogeneous contents
- all geometries will be cloned using the provided geometry factory (one based on a PackedCoordinateSequence is used by default to reduce memory usage)

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`add(Geometry g)`	Adds a geometry to the collector
`GeometryCollection`	`collect()`	Returns a geometry collection containing all of the geometries collected in the process
`GeometryCollection`	`collectInternal()`
`GeometryFactory`	`getFactory()`	Returns the geometry factory used to deep clone the geometries while collecting them (if null no cloning will happen)
`long`	`getMaxCoordinates()`	Returns the maximum number of coordinates this collector is allowed to keep in the resulting geometry
`void`	`setFactory(GeometryFactory factory)`	Sets the geometry factory used to deep clone the geometries while collecting them.

  - getMaxCoordinates
```
public long getMaxCoordinates()
```
    Returns the maximum number of coordinates this collector is allowed to keep in the resulting geometry
  - setMaxCoordinates
```
public void setMaxCoordinates(long maxCoordinates)
```
    Sets the maximum number of coordinates to be collected. By default is -1, no limit
  - getFactory
```
public GeometryFactory getFactory()
```
    Returns the geometry factory used to deep clone the geometries while collecting them (if null no cloning will happen)
  - setFactory
```
public void setFactory(GeometryFactory factory)
```
    Sets the geometry factory used to deep clone the geometries while collecting them. May be set to null to avoid deep cloning. By default a geometry factory based on PackedCoordinateSequenceFactory is used to minimize the memory usage
  - collect
```
public GeometryCollection collect()
```
    Returns a geometry collection containing all of the geometries collected in the process
  - collectInternal
```
public GeometryCollection collectInternal()
```
  - add
```
public void add(Geometry g)
```
    Adds a geometry to the collector
