         void setForceShapeType(ShapeType forceShapeType)

        Forces the shape type to a specific type, disabling its validation. Setthis value to null to enable the validation. Defaults to null.

         void setAllowUnlimitedNumberOfPointsPerShape(boolean allowUnlimitedNumberOfPointsPerShape)

        Allows any (positive) number of points per shape. It's strongly advised toalways limit the number of points per shape; otherwise, a corrupt file witha gigantic (garbage) number of points may crash the reader with anOutOfMemory error. Defaults to false, with a default limit of 10000.

      • setMaxNumberOfPointsPerShape

         void setMaxNumberOfPointsPerShape(int maxItems)

        Specifies the maximum number of points a shape can have. If a shape isfound with a larger number of points a exception is thrown showing thenumber of points it has. This parameter can be adjusted for differentfiles, or turned off with the methodsetAllowUnlimitedNumberOfPointsPerShape(). Defaults to 10000.
