public interface SpatialComparable

Defines the required methods needed for comparison of spatial objects.

Method Summary

int	getDimensionality() Returns the dimensionality of the object.
double	getMax(int dimension) Returns the maximum coordinate at the specified dimension.
double	getMin(int dimension) Returns the minimum coordinate at the specified dimension.

Method Detail

getDimensionality

int getDimensionality()

Returns the dimensionality of the object.

Returns:

the dimensionality

getMin

double getMin(int dimension)

Returns the minimum coordinate at the specified dimension.

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension for which the coordinate should be returned, where 1 ≤ dimension ≤ getDimensionality()

Returns:

the minimum coordinate at the specified dimension

getMax

double getMax(int dimension)

Returns the maximum coordinate at the specified dimension.

Parameters:

dimension - the dimension for which the coordinate should be returned, where 1 ≤ dimension ≤ getDimensionality()

Returns:

the maximum coordinate at the specified dimension
