I know that working with time (temporal features) in GIS can get
really complex really quickly, but I want to cautiously ask about
existing support in GeoTools for SimpleFeatures with one or more
temporal attributes.
I know that Peter began to explore this area a little bit with his GPX
code, and there are a couple of Temporal classes there. Is there other
temporal support in GeoTools?
What I'm looking for is pretty simple. Here is an example:
Given a set of SimpleFeature objects that represent waypoints, find
the waypoint in the set that is immediately "before" a given waypoint
in the set. Here is what the method signature might look like:
public void getWaypointImmediatelyBefore(Collection<WaypointSimpleFeature>
argWaypoints)
{
// Implementation goes here...
}
There would be other similar, but simple methods. I thought I would
bounce this by the mailing list before I took off on my own crazy
implementation using Joda. I don't know if a "temporal feature" is
something that could be abstracted with an interface, but maybe
someone has already done it!
Thanks for any suggestions.
Landon
