- Method Detail
  - getName
```
java.lang.String getName()
```
    Returns:
    
    the name of the geometry type.
  - getFullName
```
java.lang.String getFullName()
```
    Return the full name of this geometry type. It include the type name and the subtype name.
    
    Returns:
    
    the full name of the geometry type
  - addAlias
```
GeometryType addAlias(java.lang.String alias)
```
  - getAlias
```
java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getAlias()
```
  - getType
```
int getType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the type of the geometry. It is a constant value that has to be one of the values in Geometry.TYPES The type is an abstract representation of the object (Point, Curve...) but it is not a concrete representation (Point2D, Point3D...).
  - getSubType
```
int getSubType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the subtype of the geometry. It is a constant value that has to be one of the values in Geometry.SUBTYPES. The subtype represents a set of geometries with a dimensional relationship (2D, 3D, 2DM...)
  - isTypeOf
```
boolean isTypeOf(int geometryType)
```
    Check if a geometry type inherits of other type. E.g: the super type of an arc could be a a curve, the super type of a circle could be a surface...
    
    Parameters:
    
    geometryType - the value of the Geometry.TYPES to check if is it super type
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the the parameter is a super type of this geometry type
  - isSubTypeOf
```
boolean isSubTypeOf(int geometrySubType)
```
    Check if a geometry subType inherits of other subType. E.g: the super Subtype of a geometry 3D could be a geometry 2D, because the 3D extends the behavior of a geometry 2D.
    
    Parameters:
    
    geometrySubType - the value of the Geometry.SUBTYPES to check if is it super subType
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the the parameter is a super subType of this geometry type
  - isTypeOf
```
boolean isTypeOf(GeometryType geometryType)
```
    Check if a geometry type inherits of other type. E.g: the super type of an arc could be a a curve, the super type of a circle could be a surface...
    
    Parameters:
    
    geometryType - the geometry type to check if is it super type
    
    Returns:
    
    if the the parameter is a super type of this geometry type
  - isSubTypeOf
```
boolean isSubTypeOf(GeometryType geometryType)
```
    Check if a geometry subType inherits of other subType. E.g: the super Subtype of a geometry 3D could be a geometry 2D, because the 3D extends the behavior of a geometry 2D.
    
    Parameters:
    
    geometryType - the geometry type to check if is it super subtype
    
    Returns:
    
    if the the parameter is a super subType of this geometry type
  - create
```
Geometry create()
         throws CreateGeometryException
```
    This method creates a Geometry with the type specified by this class.The geometry is empty, and all the internal attributes must be assigned to a value when the geometry has been created.
    
    Returns:
    
    A empty geometry
    
    Throws:
    
    CreateGeometryException
  - setGeometryOperation
```
void setGeometryOperation(int index,
                          GeometryOperation geomOp)
```
    Registers an operation for this geometry type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index -
    
    geomOp -
  - getGeometryOperation
```
GeometryOperation getGeometryOperation(int index)
```
    Get the operation for this geometry at a concrete position
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - The position of the operation
    
    Returns:
    
    A geometry operation
  - toString
```
java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    the geometry as a String

```
int getDimension()
```
  - hasZ
```
boolean hasZ()
```
  - hasM
