Constructor Detail

DBFReaderJGeom

public DBFReaderJGeom()

DBFReaderJGeom

public DBFReaderJGeom(java.lang.String name)
               throws java.io.IOException
construct an object out of the specified shapefile's DBF file.
Throws:
java.io.IOException

Method Detail

openDBF

public void openDBF(java.lang.String name)
             throws java.io.IOException
Given a DBF file's name, open the file and read the header info. Records can be read afterwards.
Throws:
java.io.IOException

closeDBF

public void closeDBF()
              throws java.io.IOException
close this dbfile.
Throws:
java.io.IOException

numRecords

public int numRecords()
return the number of records in the DBF file.

numFields

public int numFields()
return the number of fields in each record

recordSize

public int recordSize()
return the record size in the DBF file

getRecord

public byte[] getRecord(int nth)
retrieve the nth record in the file. return the pointer to the beginning of the record. the recordDeform method can be called on this pointer to interpret individual fields.

getFieldData

public java.lang.String getFieldData(int ith,
                                     byte[] rec)
get the value string for the ith field in the given record. This is an ascii representation of this field's actual value. For fields with type 'I' or 'N', Use atoi() or strtod() accordingly to convert the returned string into an integer or double. Null is returned if something is wrong (e.g., invalid field index).

getFieldLength

public int getFieldLength(int nth)
return the length of the specified field.

getFieldName

public java.lang.String getFieldName(int ith)
returns the name for the ith field of records in this file.

getFieldType

public byte getFieldType(int ith)
get the type for the ith field in a record. returns a single character the meaning of which is defined as below:

        'C': character

        'D': Date (8 digits: YYYYMMDD)

        'F': Floating point binary numeric: -. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

        'G': General. All OEM characters or OLE.

        'L': Logical: ? Y y N  n T t F f (? initially)

        'M': Memo

        'N': Float: - . 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

        'I': Integer: - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

 

print
