All Implemented Interfaces:
SubHyperplane<Euclidean2D>

public class SubLine extends AbstractSubHyperplane<Euclidean2D,Euclidean1D>
This class represents a sub-hyperplane for Line.
  • Constructor Details

    • SubLine

      public SubLine(Hyperplane<Euclidean2D> hyperplane, Region<Euclidean1D> remainingRegion)
      Simple constructor.
      Parameters:
      hyperplane - underlying hyperplane
      remainingRegion - remaining region of the hyperplane
    • SubLine

      public SubLine(Vector2D start, Vector2D end, double tolerance)
      Create a sub-line from two endpoints.
      Parameters:
      start - start point
      end - end point
      tolerance - tolerance below which points are considered identical
    • SubLine

      public SubLine(Segment segment)
      Create a sub-line from a segment.
      Parameters:
      segment - single segment forming the sub-line
  • Method Details

    • getSegments

      public List<Segment> getSegments()
      Get the endpoints of the sub-line.

      A subline may be any arbitrary number of disjoints segments, so the endpoints are provided as a list of endpoint pairs. Each element of the list represents one segment, and each segment contains a start point at index 0 and an end point at index 1. If the sub-line is unbounded in the negative infinity direction, the start point of the first segment will have infinite coordinates. If the sub-line is unbounded in the positive infinity direction, the end point of the last segment will have infinite coordinates. So a sub-line covering the whole line will contain just one row and both elements of this row will have infinite coordinates. If the sub-line is empty, the returned list will contain 0 segments.

      Returns:
      list of segments endpoints
    • intersection

      public Vector2D intersection(SubLine subLine, boolean includeEndPoints)
      Get the intersection of the instance and another sub-line.

      This method is related to the intersection method in the Line class, but in addition to compute the point along infinite lines, it also checks the point lies on both sub-line ranges.

      Parameters:
      subLine - other sub-line which may intersect instance
      includeEndPoints - if true, endpoints are considered to belong to instance (i.e. they are closed sets) and may be returned, otherwise endpoints are considered to not belong to instance (i.e. they are open sets) and intersection occurring on endpoints lead to null being returned
      Returns:
      the intersection point if there is one, null if the sub-lines don't intersect
    • buildNew

      protected AbstractSubHyperplane<Euclidean2D,Euclidean1D> buildNew(Hyperplane<Euclidean2D> hyperplane, Region<Euclidean1D> remainingRegion)
      Build a sub-hyperplane from an hyperplane and a region.
      Specified by:
      buildNew in class AbstractSubHyperplane<Euclidean2D,Euclidean1D>
      Parameters:
      hyperplane - underlying hyperplane
      remainingRegion - remaining region of the hyperplane
      Returns:
      a new sub-hyperplane
    • split

      Split the instance in two parts by an hyperplane.
      Specified by:
      split in interface SubHyperplane<Euclidean2D>
      Specified by:
      split in class AbstractSubHyperplane<Euclidean2D,Euclidean1D>
      Parameters:
      hyperplane - splitting hyperplane
      Returns:
      an object containing both the part of the instance on the plus side of the hyperplane and the part of the instance on the minus side of the hyperplane
