Method Detail

values

public static AxisType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AxisType c : AxisType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AxisType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getType

public static AxisType getType(java.lang.String name)

Find the AxisType that matches this name.

Parameters:

name - match this name

Returns:

AxisType or null if no match.

axisOrder

public int axisOrder()

axis ordering: runTime - ensemble - time - z - y - x or elev - azimuth - distance

Returns:

order

getCFAxisName

public java.lang.String getCFAxisName()
