/**
|
| 14 |
* <p>Represents the basic data unit of a tabular structure, equivalent
|
| 15 |
* to a record in a data base table. In SIG domain, a Feature is a compound
|
| 16 |
* data structure that may contain a geographic component. The conventional term
|
| 17 |
* Feature comes from the term cartographic feature and both represent the same
|
| 18 |
* concept.
|
| 19 |
* </p>
|
| 20 |
* <p>
|
| 21 |
* A Feature may contain more than one geometry attribute. In the case there is not any geometry data,
|
| 22 |
* the <code>getDefaultGeometry()</code> will return <code>null</code>.
|
| 23 |
* </p>
|
| 24 |
* <p>
|
| 25 |
* Features are not editable as such. To edit a Feature you have to obtain an
|
| 26 |
* editable instance <code>EditableFeature</code> using the method <code>getEditable()</code>.
|
| 27 |
* Modify that editable instance and then apply the changes to the Feature. This
|
| 28 |
* mechanism is to avoid ambiguity and loosing track on the Feature internal state.
|
| 29 |
* </p>
|
| 30 |
* <br>
|
| 31 |
* <p>The Feature:
|
| 32 |
* <ul>
|
| 33 |
* <li>Has an unique identifier <code>FeatureReference</code>
|
| 34 |
* to recognize our Feature from each other from the same data store</li>
|
| 35 |
* <li>Has a <code>FeatureType</code> that describes the Feature characteristics (attributes,
|
| 36 |
* data types, default geometry, validation rules).</li>
|
| 37 |
* <li>Can obtain a copy of itself.</li>
|
| 38 |
* <li>Can obtain its default geometry attribute and also a list with all the geometry attributes.</li>
|
| 39 |
* <li>Can obtain its default Spatial Reference System and also a list with all the SRSs used in the geometry attributes.</li>
|
| 40 |
* <li>Can obtain the envelope (extent) of the default geometry attribute.
|
| 41 |
* <li>Can obtain the editable instance of the Feature.</li>
|
| 42 |
* <li>Has a set of utility methods to read attributes when their type is known, by both index and name.</li>
|
| 43 |
* </ul>
|
| 44 |
