Method Detail

values

public static PatientPosition[] 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 (PatientPosition c : PatientPosition.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static PatientPosition valueOf(java.lang.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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getInstance

public static PatientPosition getInstance(java.lang.String pp)

Returns a PatientPosition Object corresponding to the supplied string.

Parameters:

pp - a String which is one of "HFS", "HFP", "HFDR", "HFDL", "FFS", "FFP", "FFDR" or "FFDL". The case of pp is ignored. If pp does not match any of these, then PatientPosition.UNKNOWN is returned.
