org.hipparchus.geometry.spherical.twod.Sphere2D

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Space

public class Sphere2D
extends Object
implements Serializable, Space

This class implements a two-dimensional sphere (i.e. the regular sphere).

We use here the topologists definition of the 2-sphere (see Sphere on MathWorld), i.e. the 2-sphere is the two-dimensional surface defined in 3D as x²+y²+z²=1.
