toStringGeometryDescriptorType

public static final java.lang.String toStringGeometryDescriptorType(int type)

Translates the geometry descriptor type into a human readable text.

Parameters:

type - the geometry descriptor type to translate

Returns:

String the human readable text

getStrings

public static final java.lang.String[] getStrings(java.lang.String s,
                                                  java.lang.String delimiter)

Returns a list of trimmed Strings found in the parameter String separated by the specified delimiter.

A Delimiter can be a single character or a list of characters. Its 1:1 passed by the usedStringTokenizer. See StringTokenizer on how to use these delimiters. getStrings returns { "This", "is", "a", "test"} when call like getString("This is a test", ",.;: ");

Parameters:

s - the string to check.

delimiter - the list of characters to be used as delimiter.

Returns:

String[]
