Module: RGeo::Feature::Type

Included in:
Curve, Geometry, GeometryCollection, Line, LineString, LinearRing, MultiCurve, MultiLineString, MultiPoint, MultiPolygon, MultiSurface, Point, Polygon, Surface
Defined in:
lib/rgeo/feature/types.rb

Overview

This module provides the API for geometry type objects. Technically these objects are modules (such as RGeo::Feature::Point), but as objects they respond to the methods documented here.

For example, you may determine whether a feature object is a point by calling:

RGeo::Feature::Point.check_type(object)

A corresponding === operator is provided so you can use the type modules in a case-when clause:

case object
when RGeo::Feature::Point
  # do stuff here...

However, a feature object may not actually include the point module itself; hence, the following will not work:

object.is_a?(RGeo::Feature::Point)  # DON'T DO THIS-- DOES NOT WORK

You may obtain the type of a feature object by calling its geometry_type method. You may then use the methods in this module to interrogate that type.

# supppose object is a Point
type = object.geometry_type  # RGeo::Feature::Point
type.type_name               # "Point"
type.supertype               # RGeo::Feature::Geometry

You may also use the presence of this module to determine whether a particular object is a feature type:

RGeo::Feature::Type === object.geometry_type  # true

def add_subtype(type) # :nodoc:
  (@subtypes ||= []) << type
end

#check_type(rhs) ⇒ Object Also known as: ===

Returns true if the given object is this type or a subtype thereof, or if it is a feature object whose geometry_type is this type or a subtype thereof.

Note that feature objects need not actually include this module. Therefore, the is_a? method will generally not work.

def check_type(rhs)
  rhs = rhs.geometry_type if rhs.is_a?(Feature::Instance)
  rhs.is_a?(Type) && (rhs == self || rhs.include?(self))
end

#each_immediate_subtype ⇒ Object

Iterates over the known immediate subtypes of this type.

def each_immediate_subtype(&)
  @subtypes&.each(&)
end

#subtype_of?(type) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if this type is the same type or a subtype of the given type.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#supertype ⇒ Object

Returns the supertype of this type. The supertype of Geometry is nil.

Returns the OpenGIS type name of this type. For example:

RGeo::Feature::Point.type_name  # "Point"
