Class S2Point

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Point<Sphere2D>
    public class S2Point
extends Object
implements Point<Sphere2D>
    This class represents a point on the 2-sphere.

    We use the mathematical convention to use the azimuthal angle \( \theta \) in the x-y plane as the first coordinate, and the polar angle \( \varphi \) as the second coordinate (see Spherical Coordinates in MathWorld).

    Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

        Compute the distance between the instance and another point.
        Specified by:

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object other)
        Test for the equality of two points on the 2-sphere.

        If all coordinates of two points are exactly the same, and none are Double.NaN, the two points are considered to be equal.

        NaN coordinates are considered to affect globally the point and be equals to each other - i.e, if either (or all) coordinates of the point are equal to Double.NaN, the point is equal to NaN.

        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        other - Object to test for equality to this
        Returns:
        true if two points on the 2-sphere objects are equal, false if object is null, not an instance of S2Point, or not equal to this S2Point instance

      • equalsIeee754

        public boolean equalsIeee754​(Object other)
        Test for the equality of two points on the 2-sphere.

        If all coordinates of two points are exactly the same, and none are Double.NaN, the two points are considered to be equal.

        In compliance with IEEE754 handling, if any coordinates of any of the two points are NaN, then the points are considered different. This implies that S2Point.NaN.equals(S2Point.NaN) returns false despite the instance is checked against itself.

        Parameters:
        other - Object to test for equality to this
        Returns:
        true if two points objects are equal, false if object is null, not an instance of S2Point, or not equal to this S2Point instance
        Since:

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Get a hashCode for the point.

        All NaN values have the same hash code.

        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
        Returns:
        a hash code value for this object
