Enum Constant Detail

START

public static final RelativeCompass START

Constant indicating the "start" relative compass-point.

END

public static final RelativeCompass END

Constant indicating the "end" relative compass-point.

BEFORE

public static final RelativeCompass BEFORE

Constant indicating the "before" relative compass-point.

AFTER

public static final RelativeCompass AFTER

Method Detail

values

public static final RelativeCompass[] values()

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

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

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static RelativeCompass 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

isRelative

public boolean isRelative()

Indicates whether this compass direction is a relative direction.

Specified by:

isRelative in interface Compass

Returns:

True iff this compass direction is a relative direction.

isAbsolute

public boolean isAbsolute()

Indicates whether this compass direction is an absolute direction.

Specified by:

isAbsolute in interface Compass

Returns:

True iff this compass direction is an absolute direction.
