Method Detail

hasNext

boolean hasNext()
                throws IOException

Use the internal iterator to check if there is another ProfileFeature in the iteration.

Returns:

true is there is another ProfileFeature in the iteration.

Throws:

IOException - on read error

next

ProfileFeature next()
                    throws IOException

Use the internal iterator to get the next ProfileFeature in the iteration. You must call hasNext() before you call this.

Returns:

the next ProfileFeature in the iteration

Throws:

IOException - on read error

resetIteration

void resetIteration()
                    throws IOException

Reset the internal iterator for another iteration over the ProfileFeature in this Collection.

Throws:

IOException - on read error

size

int size()

The number of profiles in the time series. May not be known until after iterating through the collection.

Specified by:

size in interface NestedPointFeatureCollection

Returns:

number of profiles in the time series, or -1 if not known.

subset

StationProfileFeature subset(DateRange dateRange)
                             throws IOException

Subset this collection by dateRange

Parameters:

dateRange - only points in this date range. may be null.

Returns:

subsetted collection, may be null if empty

Throws:

IOException - on read error

getTimes

List<Date> getTimes()
                    throws IOException

Get the list of times in the time series of profiles. Note that this may be as costly as iterating over the collection.

Returns:

list of times in the time series of profiles.

Throws:

IOException - on read error

getProfileByDate

ProfileFeature getProfileByDate(Date date)
                                throws IOException

Get a particular profile by date. Note that this may be as costly as iterating over the collection.

Parameters:

date - get profile matching this date.

Returns:

profile whose date matches the given date

Throws:

IOException - on read error
