Position

interface Position<P : Position<P>> : Serializable

An interface to represent a generic coordinates system.

Parameters

the actual {@link Position} type: this strategy allows to progressively refine the {@link Position} by inheritance, allowing for specifying incrementally fine grained model elements.

Functions

Link copied to clipboard
abstract fun boundingBox(range: Double): List<P>

Given a range, produces N coordinates, representing the N opposite vertices of the hypercube having the current coordinate as center and circumscribing the N-sphere defined by the range. In the case of two dimensional coordinates, it must return the opposite vertices of the square circumscribing the circle with center in this position and radius range.

abstract fun distanceTo(other: P): Double

Computes the distance between this position and another compatible position.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract fun getCoordinate(dimension: Int): Double

Allows to access the value of a coordinate.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract operator fun minus(other: DoubleArray): P

Considers both positions as vectors, and returns the difference between this position and the passed one.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract operator fun plus(other: DoubleArray): P

Considers both positions as vectors, and sums them.
