## com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.areas
Class AreaHandler

    java.lang.Object
      com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.areas.AreaHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
  PropertyConsumer

public class AreaHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements PropertyConsumer

An object to organize graphics in a shapefile and their corresponding attributes in OpenMap. A properties object can determine how areas/graphics are to be colored, or you can grab the graphics directly and color them yourself. It's called AreaHandler because it was originally intended to be a management tool for political boundary areas, but it should work for all shapefiles, really. This object uses a CSV file created from the DBF file that usually accompanies the shapefile. Also, this class does inflict a startup burden on the map. Because all the organizational effort occurs in setProperties(), it occurs even if the handler isn't used in an active Layer.

Here is a sample of what this thing is looking for by way of properties:

                      layer.class=com.bbn.openmap.layer.shape.areas.AreaShapeLayer
                      layer.prettyName=Layer Name
                      layer.shapeFile=/usr/local/data/shape/shapefile.shp
                      layer.spatialIndex=/usr/local/data/shape/shapefile.ssx

                      # Now, provide a data file that says what the shapes in the .shp
                      # file are.  You can use the DBF file:
                      layer.dbfFile=/usr/local/data/shape/shapefile.dbf
                      # OR a csv file, created yourself or from the .dbf file.  There
                      # should be the same number of entries in the .csv file that are in
                      # the .shp file.
                      layer.csvFile=/usr/local/data/shape/shapefile.csv
                      # An attribute to tell the AreaHandler to skip over the first row
                      # of the csv file if it contains descriptive column header names.
                      layer.csvFileHasHeader=true

                      # Default DrawingAttributes properties for everything not defined
                      # specifically:
                      layer.lineColor=ff000000
                      layer.fillColor=ffff00ff

                      # Now add any other attributes accepted by the DrawingAttributes
                      # object, with the prefix as stated above, i.e. layer.lineColor)
                      #
                      # The first column index is 0, not 1.
                      #
                      # The key index specifies which column in the csv file contains
                      # unique area names that are listed in the areas list here in the
                      # properties.  In this case, it's the column that contains MA in one
                      # of its rows.
                      layer.keyIndex=4

                      # The name index is the column in the csv file that contains what
                      # should be displayed in the application when a shape is chosen - the
                      # object's proper name.
                      layer.nameIndex=4
                      layer.areas=MA RI
                      layer.areas.MA.fillColor=ffff0000
                      layer.areas.MA.lineColor=ff00ff00
                      layer.areas.RI.fillColor=ffff0000
                      layer.areas.RI.lineColor=ff00ff00

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName(java.util.Vector vector)

  Return the graphic name, given the infofile vector on the graphic. The AreaHandler knows which one is the name. Returns an empty string if something goes wrong.

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName(java.lang.Integer integer)

  Get the name of the object at record number. The record number is the shapefile record number, which is one greater than the index number. Returns an empty string if something goes wrong.

### getDrawParamsFromCSV

    public DrawingAttributes getDrawParamsFromCSV(int recordNumber)

  Given the shapefile record number, find the drawing parameters that should be used for the shape. Note, this recordNumber is the shapefile record number, which starts at one. All our indexes start at 0, so this is taken into account here. Don't make the adjustment elsewhere. Returns the default coloring if the key for the drawing parameters isn't found.

### getDrawParamsFromDBF

    public DrawingAttributes getDrawParamsFromDBF(int recordNumber)

  Given the shapefile record number, find the drawing parameters from the DBF model that should be used for the shape. Returns the default coloring if the key for the drawing parameters isn't found.

### createStringFromKeyObject

    protected java.lang.String createStringFromKeyObject(java.lang.Object keyObj)

  OK, we can't assume that we are assigning a string as a key, you might want to key in on a specific attribute that is a number, like the country coloring code that ESRI has in the country file. We're going to assume that if the number has an integer value, it shouldn't have decimal places. That is, a 1.0 will be truncated to 1, because that makes more sense in a data file where you are using a key as a factor. If the double value doesn't match the integer value, though, we'll assume that's what was meant and leave it alone.

### getDrawParams

    public DrawingAttributes getDrawParams(int recordNumber)

  Given the shapefile record number, find the drawing parameters that should be used for the shape. Returns the default coloring if the key for the drawing parameters isn't found.

### loadDbfModelIntoGraphics

    public void loadDbfModelIntoGraphics(OMGraphicList list)

  This function takes an OMGraphicList and loads each one with the array representing the records in the dbf file. Each graphics stores the graphic in its object slot.

### findPoliticalArea

    public PoliticalArea findPoliticalArea(java.lang.String area_key)

  Find a PoliticalArea named by the search key. If the shapefile is large, the first query will take a little extra time on the first query to read in the files.

  Parameters:
    `area_key` - the lookup key, of which the index for the column was designated in the properties file.

### findGraphics

    public OMGeometryList findGraphics(java.lang.String area_key)

  Find the graphics that are represented by an search key. If the shapefile is large, the first query will take a little extra time on the first query to read in the files.

  Parameters:
    `area_key` - the lookup key, of which the index for the column was designated in the properties file.

### determinePoliticalAreas

    public java.util.Hashtable determinePoliticalAreas(OMGraphicList graphicList)

  DeterminePoliticalAreas goes over a list of omgraphics, and spits out a hashtable that holds PoliticalArea objects for every area key.

  Parameters:
    `graphicList` - the list of graphics. The top level graphic entries on the list represent areas.

### determinePoliticalAreas

    public java.util.Hashtable determinePoliticalAreas(OMGraphicList graphicList,
                                                       java.util.Hashtable poli_areas)

  DeterminePoliticalAreas goes over a list of omgraphics, and spits out a hashtable that holds PoliticalArea objects for every area key. When an ID is found in the graphics, it is checked in the hashtable for like graphics, and added to that PoliticalArea if found. If not found, a new PoliticalArea is created and placed in the Hashtable. This will duplicate graphics if you call it more than once for the same graphic list.

  Parameters:
    `graphicList` - the list of graphics. The top level graphic entries on the list represent areas.

### getColor

    protected java.awt.Color getColor(java.lang.String colorString)

### GetColorFromString

    protected java.awt.Color GetColorFromString(java.lang.String token)

  This function would return a Color object for string such as red, green,.. (all that are available from java.awt.color class). It can also return a specific color represented by HEX or Octal number like 0xffeeffee

### getCoordTransform

    public GeoCoordTransformation getCoordTransform()

### setCoordTransform

    public void setCoordTransform(GeoCoordTransformation dataTransform)

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

  This main function basically reads in the data sources (the shape file and the csv information file, and creates a serialized graphics file that will act like a cache later.

### printUsage

    public static void printUsage()
