Detailed Description

Class describing a line in the 2D space.

This class describes a line in a two dimensional coordinate space. This space can optionally be one of the three main projection layers (XY, XZ, YZ).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Line2D() [1/5]

Herd::Line2D::Line2D ( )

inline

Default constructor.

Creates a line with undefined properties.

Line2D() [2/5]

Herd::Line2D::Line2D ( const Line2D &  other )

default

Default copy constructor.

Line2D() [3/5]

Herd::Line2D::Line2D ( Line2D &&  other )

default

Default move constructor.

Line2D() [4/5]

Herd::Line2D::Line2D	(	const Point &	point,
		float	polar
	)

Constructor.

Constructs a line passing from a given point in the two-dimensional space and forming a given angle with the abscissa. The given point parameter must have the X and Y coordinates set to the abscissa and ordinate coordinates, respectively; the Z coordinate will be ignored.

Parameters

point	A point on the line (X->abscissa, Y->ordinate, Z->not used, in cm).
polar	The angle between the line and the positive abscissa (rad).

Line2D() [5/5]

Herd::Line2D::Line2D

(

const Point &

point

)

Constructor for degenerate line.

This constructor build a special Line2D that does not represent a conventional line in the 2D space, but rather the result of projecting a line on a perpendicular plane. This operation does not produce a line but a point, so the resulting Line2D has a definite origin point but indefinite angle.

Parameters

point

The A point on the line (X->abscissa, Y->ordinate, Z->not used, in cm).

~Line2D()

virtual Herd::Line2D::~Line2D ( )

virtualdefault

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

Intersection()

Point Herd::Line2D::Intersection	(	float	coo,
		RefFrame::Axis	axis
	)		const

Returns the line intersection with a given line parallel to one of the main axes, passing for a given coordinate. (Only X (abscissa) and Y (ordinate) axes are allowed)

Parameters

coo	The coordinate along the orthogonal axis w.r.t. the desired intersection (cm).
axis	The second line axis.

Returns

The point (X->abscissa, Y->ordinate, Z->not used, in cm) on the line at the given intersection point.

Exceptions

Line2D::Degenerate

if the line is degenerate.

See also

Line2D::Line2D(const Point &).

IsDegenerate()

bool Herd::Line2D::IsDegenerate ( ) const

inline

Checks if the line is degenerate.

Returns

true if the line is degenerate.

Line2D::Line2D(const Point &)

operator=() [1/2]

Line2D& Herd::Line2D::operator= ( const Line2D &  other )

default

Default copy assignment.

operator=() [2/2]

Line2D& Herd::Line2D::operator= ( Line2D &&  other )

default

Default move assignment.

operator==()

bool Herd::Line2D::operator== ( const Line2D &  rhs ) const

inline

Comparison operator.

Parameters

rhs	The right-hand-side of the comparison operation.

Returns

true if the two Line2D are equal.

Origin()

Point Herd::Line2D::Origin ( ) const

inline

Returns a point on the line.

The returned point lies on line, and together with the angle with the abscissa defines the line.

Returns

a point on the line (X->abscissa, Y->ordinate, Z->not used, in cm).

Polar()

float Herd::Line2D::Polar

(

)

const

Returns the angle of the line with respect to the positive abscissa.

If the line object is degenerate then an exception will be thrown.

Returns

the angle between the line and the positive abscissa in the range [0, 2pi] (rad).

Exceptions

Line2D::Degenerate

if the line is degenerate.
