clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

reduceDetail

public final void reduceDetail(double granularity)

reduceDetail

public static final void reduceDetail(DoubleBuffer coords,
                double granularity)

Attempts to reduce the complexity of the line by eliminating points which add nothing to the detail at a certain granularity. Granularity is defined as a discretizing parameter - it sets up a grid of that cell size and points which fall into the same grid cell are regarded as identical. May reduce it to a single point, so watch out.

isDegenerate

public static final boolean isDegenerate(DoubleBuffer coords)

containsDegenerateSegments

public static final boolean containsDegenerateSegments(DoubleBuffer coords)

addVertex

public void addVertex(double x,
             double y)

getCentroid

public final Point getCentroid()

getLength

public final double getLength()

getExtents

public final Rectangle getExtents()

isInside

public boolean isInside(double x,
               double y)

getVertexCount

public int getVertexCount()

clipToRectangle

public Polygon clipToRectangle(double minX,
                      double minY,
                      double maxX,
                      double maxY)

Clips the polygon to the given rectangle. Returns zero or more polygons. Uses the Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm (Foley, van Dam et. al pg 128).

clipToLine

public Polygon clipToLine(Line clipEdge)

Clips along a single infinite edge. The edge is described as a line segment; anything to the left as you proceed from x1,y1 to x2,y2 is considered "inside". Also part of Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm.

isDegenerate

public final boolean isDegenerate()

tessellate

public TriangleArray tessellate()

Converts the polygon into a set of triangles.

tessellate

public void tessellate(TriangleArray results)

Converts the polygon into a set of triangles.

toXyPolygon

public XyPolygon toXyPolygon()
