Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected void	clearTransform()
protected MathTransform	getContentToLayerTransform()	Gets the MathTransform used to convert coordinates from the projection being used by the MapContent to that of the Layer.
abstract InfoToolResult	getInfo(Position2D pos)	Gets layer data at the specified position.
Layer	getLayer()	Gets the map layer associated with this helper.
MapContent	getMapContent()	Gets the map content associated with this helper.
abstract boolean	isSupportedLayer(Layer layer)	Called by the helper lookup system when selecting a helper for a given layer.
protected boolean	isTransformRequired()
boolean	isValid()	Checks if this helper is holding a reference to a MapContent and a Layer.Helpers only hold a WeakReference to both the map content and layer to avoid blocking garbage collection when layers are discarded.
void	mapBoundsChanged(MapBoundsEvent event)	A method from the MapBoundsListener interface used to listen for a change to the map content's coordinate reference system.
void	setLayer(Layer layer)	Sets the map layer for this helper.
void	setMapContent(MapContent content)	Sets the map content for this helper.

InfoToolHelper

public InfoToolHelper()

Method Details

isSupportedLayer

public abstract boolean isSupportedLayer(Layer layer)

Called by the helper lookup system when selecting a helper for a given layer.

Parameters:

layer - the layer

Returns:

true is this helper can handle the layer

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if layer is null

getInfo

public abstract InfoToolResult getInfo(Position2D pos)
                                throws Exception

Gets layer data at the specified position. If there are no feature data at the position, an empty InfoToolResult object is returned.

Parameters:

pos - query position

Returns:

layer data

Throws:

Exception - on error querying the layer

isValid

public boolean isValid()

Checks if this helper is holding a reference to a MapContent and a Layer.Helpers only hold a WeakReference to both the map content and layer to avoid blocking garbage collection when layers are discarded.

Returns:

true if both map content and layer references are valid

setMapContent

public void setMapContent(MapContent content)

Sets the map content for this helper.

Parameters:

content - the map content

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if content is null

getMapContent

public MapContent getMapContent()

Gets the map content associated with this helper.

Returns:

the map content

setLayer

public void setLayer(Layer layer)

Sets the map layer for this helper.

Parameters:

layer - the map layer

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if layer is null

getLayer

public Layer getLayer()

Gets the map layer associated with this helper.

mapBoundsChanged

public void mapBoundsChanged(MapBoundsEvent event)

A method from the MapBoundsListener interface used to listen for a change to the map content's coordinate reference system.

Specified by:

mapBoundsChanged in interface MapBoundsListener

Parameters:

event - The change event.

getContentToLayerTransform

protected MathTransform getContentToLayerTransform()

Gets the MathTransform used to convert coordinates from the projection being used by the MapContent to that of the Layer.

Returns:

the transform or null if the layer's CRS is the same as that of the map content, or if either has no CRS defined

isTransformRequired

protected boolean isTransformRequired()

clearTransform

protected void clearTransform()
