# Class DefaultBand

DefaultRangeDimension
DefaultSampleDimension
DefaultBand

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Emptiable`, `LenientComparable`, `IdentifiedObject`, `Band`, `RangeDimension`

public class DefaultBand extends DefaultSampleDimension implements Band
Range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. The following property is conditional (i.e. mandatory under some circumstances) in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:
`MD_Band` `└─units……` Units of data in each dimension included in the resource.

## Limitations

- Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
- Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases. Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use `XML` instead.

  0.3

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### DefaultBand

    public DefaultBand()
    Constructs an initially empty band.

  - ### DefaultBand

    public DefaultBand(Band object)
    Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.

    #### Note on properties validation

    This constructor does not verify the property values of the given metadata (e.g. whether it contains unexpected negative values). This is because invalid metadata exist in practice, and verifying their validity in this copy constructor is often too late. Note that this is not the only hole, as invalid metadata instances can also be obtained by unmarshalling an invalid XML document.
    Parameters:
      `object` - the metadata to copy values from, or `null` if none.
    See Also:
      - `castOrCopy(Band)`

- ## Method Details

  - ### castOrCopy

    public static DefaultBand castOrCopy(Band object)
    Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:
    - If the given object is `null`, then this method returns `null`.
    - Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of `DefaultBand`, then it is returned unchanged.
    - Otherwise a new `DefaultBand` instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.
    Parameters:
      `object` - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or `null` if none.
    Returns:
      a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or `null` if the argument was null.

    public BandDefinition getBandBoundaryDefinition()
    Returns the designation of criterion for defining maximum and minimum wavelengths for a spectral band.
    Specified by:
      `getBandBoundaryDefinition` in interface `Band`
    Returns:
      criterion for defining maximum and minimum wavelengths, or `null`.

    public void setBandBoundaryDefinition(BandDefinition newValue)

  - ### getUnits

    public Unit<Length> getUnits()
    Returns the units of data as a unit of length.
    Upcoming API change — generalization
    As of ISO 19115:2014, the units of wavelength is rather `boundUnits`. The restriction for units of length in this `units` property may be relaxed in GeoAPI 4.0.
    Specified by:
      `getUnits` in interface `Band`
    Overrides:
      `getUnits` in class `DefaultSampleDimension`
    Returns:
      The units of data.

  - ### setUnits

    public void setUnits(Unit<?> newValue)
    Sets the units of data as a unit of length.
    Upcoming precondition change — relaxation
    The current implementation requires the unit to be an instance of `Unit<Length>`, otherwise a `ClassCastException` is thrown. This is because the value returned by `getUnits()` was restricted by ISO 19115:2003 to units of length. However this restriction may be relaxed in GeoAPI 4.0.
    Overrides:
      `setUnits` in class `DefaultSampleDimension`
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - The new units of data as an instance of `Unit<Length>`.

    Specified by:
      `getPeakResponse` in interface `Band`
    Returns:
      wavelength at which the response is the highest, or `null` if unspecified.

  - ### setPeakResponse

    public void setPeakResponse(Double newValue)
    Sets the wavelength at which the response is the highest.
    Parameters:
      `newValue` - the new peak response, or `null`.
