Constructor Detail

LineSegment

public LineSegment(Vector startPoint,
                   Vector endPoint)

Creates a new line segment.

Parameters:

startPoint - the start point of a line segment.

endPoint - the end point of a line segment.

Method Detail

getStartPoint

public Vector getStartPoint()

Returns:

the start point

getEndPoint

public Vector getEndPoint()

Returns:

the end point

getLength

public float getLength()

Returns:

the length of this line segment

Since:

5.0.2

getBoundingRectange

public Rectangle2D.Float getBoundingRectange()

Computes the bounding rectangle for this line segment. The rectangle has a rotation 0 degrees with respect to the coordinate system that the line system is in. For example, if a line segment is 5 unit long and sits at a 37 degree angle from horizontal, the bounding rectangle will have origin of the lower left hand end point of the segment, with width = 4 and height = 3.

Returns:

the bounding rectangle

Since:

5.0.2

transformBy

public LineSegment transformBy(Matrix m)

Transforms the segment by the specified matrix

Parameters:

m - the matrix for the transformation

Returns:

the transformed segment
