Class Alignment<D extends TwoMin>

java.lang.Object

org.monospark.geometrix.GeometrixObject

org.monospark.geometrix.shape.flat.alignment.Alignment<D>

Type Parameters:

D - the dimension of the space in which the flat shape will be aligned

Direct Known Subclasses:

FlatAlignment, PlaneAlignment

public abstract class Alignment<D extends TwoMin>
extends GeometrixObject

Represents an alignment which is used for FlatShape objects. Alignments align a two-dimensional shape in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.

Method Detail

getDimension

public final D getDimension()

getLocalPoint

public abstract Vec<Two> getLocalPoint(Vec<D> point)

Transforms a point in the global coordinate system into a point in the local coordinate system of this alignment.

Parameters:

point - the two-dimensional point which should be transformed

Returns:

a two-dimensional point, which equals the global point in the local coordinate system.

getGlobalPoint

public abstract Vec<D> getGlobalPoint(Vec<Two> point)

Transforms a two-dimensional point into the dimension of this alignment.

Parameters:

point - the point which should be transformed

Returns:

the transformed point in the dimension of the alignment.

getLocalDirection

public abstract Vec<Two> getLocalDirection(Vec<D> direction)

getGlobalDirection

public abstract Vec<D> getGlobalDirection(Vec<Two> direction)

Transforms a two-dimensional direction vector into the dimension of this alignment.

Parameters:

direction - the direction vector which should be transformed

Returns:

the transformed direction vector in the dimension of the alignment.
