- Enum Constant Detail
  - GEOMETRY
```
public static final GeometryType GEOMETRY
```
    The root of the geometry type hierarchy
  - POINT
```
public static final GeometryType POINT

    A single location in space. Each point has an X and Y coordinate. A point MAY optionally also have a Z and/or an M value.
  - LINESTRING
```
public static final GeometryType LINESTRING
```
    A Curve that connects two or more points in space.
  - POLYGON
```
public static final GeometryType POLYGON
```
    A restricted form of CurvePolygon where each ring is defined as a simple, closed LineString.
  - MULTIPOINT
```
public static final GeometryType MULTIPOINT
```
    A restricted form of GeometryCollection where each Geometry in the collection must be of type Point.
  - MULTILINESTRING
```
public static final GeometryType MULTILINESTRING
```
    A restricted form of MultiCurve where each Curve in the collection must be of type LineString.
  - MULTIPOLYGON
```
public static final GeometryType MULTIPOLYGON
```
    A restricted form of MultiSurface where each Surface in the collection must be of type Polygon.
  - GEOMETRYCOLLECTION
```
public static final GeometryType GEOMETRYCOLLECTION
```
    A collection of zero or more Geometry instances.
  - CIRCULARSTRING
```
public static final GeometryType CIRCULARSTRING
```
    Circular String, Curve sub type
  - COMPOUNDCURVE
```
public static final GeometryType COMPOUNDCURVE
```
    Compound Curve, Curve sub type
  - CURVEPOLYGON
```
public static final GeometryType CURVEPOLYGON
```
    A planar surface defined by an exterior ring and zero or more interior ring. Each ring is defined by a Curve instance.
  - MULTICURVE
```
public static final GeometryType MULTICURVE
```
    A restricted form of GeometryCollection where each Geometry in the collection must be of type Curve.
  - MULTISURFACE
```
public static final GeometryType MULTISURFACE
```
    A restricted form of GeometryCollection where each Geometry in the collection must be of type Surface.
  - CURVE
```
public static final GeometryType CURVE
```
    The base type for all 1-dimensional geometry types. A 1-dimensional geometry is a geometry that has a length, but no area. A curve is considered simple if it does not intersect itself (except at the start and end point). A curve is considered closed its start and end point are coincident. A simple, closed curve is called a ring.
  - SURFACE
```
public static final GeometryType SURFACE
```
    The base type for all 2-dimensional geometry types. A 2-dimensional geometry is a geometry that has an area.
  - POLYHEDRALSURFACE
```
public static final GeometryType POLYHEDRALSURFACE
```
    Contiguous collection of polygons which share common boundary segments.
  - TIN
```
public static final GeometryType TIN
```
    A tetrahedron (4 triangular faces), corner at the origin and each unit coordinate digit.
  - TRIANGLE
```
public static final GeometryType TRIANGLE
```
    Triangle
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static GeometryType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (GeometryType c : GeometryType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static GeometryType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Get the name, just use the enum name since they are the same
    
    Returns:
    
    geometry type name
  - fromName
```
public static GeometryType fromName(String name)
```
    Get the Geometry Type from the name, ignoring case
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - geometry type name
    
    Returns:
    
    geometry type
