  • Method Details

    • getSpace

      Space getSpace()
      Get the space to which the point belongs.
      Returns:
      containing space

    • isNaN

      boolean isNaN()
      Returns true if any coordinate of this point is NaN; false otherwise
      Returns:
      true if any coordinate of this point is NaN; false otherwise

    • distance

      double distance(P p)
      Compute the distance between the instance and another point.
      Parameters:
      p - second point
      Returns:
      the distance between the instance and p

    • moveTowards

      P moveTowards(P other, double ratio)
      Move towards another point.

      Motion is linear (along space curvature) and based on a ratio where 0.0 stands for not moving at all, 0.5 stands for moving halfway towards other point, and 1.0 stands for moving fully to the other point.

      Parameters:
      other - other point
      ratio - motion ratio,
      Returns:
      moved point
      Since:
      4.0
