  • Method Details

    • values

      public static ReleaseOrientation[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static ReleaseOrientation valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null

    • getAngle

      public double getAngle()
      Gets the release angle from horizontal.
      Returns:
      angle in degrees (-90 to +90)

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Gets the description.
      Returns:
      description

    • isHorizontal

      public boolean isHorizontal()
      Checks if release is predominantly horizontal.
      Returns:
      true if angle is within ±30° of horizontal

    • isVertical

      public boolean isVertical()
      Checks if release is predominantly vertical.
      Returns:
      true if angle is within 30° of vertical

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Enum<ReleaseOrientation>
