Constructor Detail

GeographicalPolygon

public GeographicalPolygon(Location2D[] boundary)

Method Detail

getPointCount

public int getPointCount()

getPoint

public Location2D getPoint(int i)

contains

public boolean contains(Location2D point)

Description copied from interface: GeographicalArea

Indicate whether a point is within the area

Specified by:

contains in interface GeographicalArea

Parameters:

point - the point of interest

Returns:

true if it is, and false if it isn't

getBoundingBox

public GeographicalBox getBoundingBox()

Description copied from interface: GeographicalArea

Return a box which bounds the area. This can be used as the basis of approximate implementations of overlapsWith for arbitrary shapes. If isUnknown() returns true for the area, then returns GeographicalBox.UNKNOWN

Specified by:

getBoundingBox in interface GeographicalArea

Returns:

a 3 dimensional bounding box

overlapsWith

public boolean overlapsWith(GeographicalArea area)

Description copied from interface: GeographicalArea

Indicate whether the supplied area overlaps with this area. See getBoundingBox for a way of approximately implementing this for arbitrary shapes. Suggestions for improvement welcome. If isUnknown() returns true for either or both areas, the result is false;

Specified by:

overlapsWith in interface GeographicalArea

Parameters:

area - the area of interest

isUnknown

public boolean isUnknown()

Description copied from interface: GeographicalArea

Indicates whether the bounds of this area are unknown.

Specified by:

isUnknown in interface GeographicalArea

Returns:

true if the bounds are unknown.
