    • values

      public static ElementKind[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static ElementKind valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      Illegal­Argument­Exception - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      Null­Pointer­Exception - if the argument is null

    • forType

      public static ElementKind forType(Class<?> type)
      Returns the element kind for an object of the given type. The current implementation defines the following associations:
      Mapping from Java type to WKT element
      Base type Kind
      Datum DATUM
      DefaultDatumEnsemble ENSEMBLE
      OperationMethod METHOD
      GeneralParameterValue PARAMETER
      CoordinateSystemAxis AXIS
      Identifier IDENTIFIER
      Citation CITATION
      CodeList CODE_LIST
      Extent EXTENT
      Unit UNIT
      Number INTEGER or NUMBER
      The given type can be any sub-type of the above types. If an object implements more than one of the above interfaces, then the selected Element­Kind is arbitrary.
      Parameters:
      type - the object type, or null.
      Returns:
      the element kind of the given type, or null if none match.
