public interface SpatialPrimitiveDoubleDistanceFunction<V extends SpatialComparable>
extends SpatialPrimitiveDistanceFunction<V,DoubleDistance>, PrimitiveDoubleDistanceFunction<V>

Interface combining spatial primitive distance functions with primitive number distance functions. This allows for optimization in the most common types, while not sacrificing generality to support the others. In essence, you should use this interface only in specialized optimized codepaths.

Method Summary

double	doubleCenterDistance(SpatialComparable mbr1, SpatialComparable mbr2) Computes the distance between the centroids of the two given MBRs according to this distance function.
double	doubleMinDist(SpatialComparable mbr1, SpatialComparable mbr2) Computes the distance between the two given MBRs according to this distance function.
