Class 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.

        public static final double SMALLEST_TOLERANCE
        Smallest tolerance that can be managed.

        Tolerances smaller than this value will generate exceptions.
