Constructor Detail

SpatialComparator

public SpatialComparator(int compareDimension,
                 int comparisonValue)

Creates a new spatial comparator with the specified parameters.

Parameters:

compareDimension - the dimension to be set for comparison

comparisonValue - the comparison value to be set

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(SpatialComparable o1,
          SpatialComparable o2)

Compares the two specified spatial comparables according to the sorting dimension and the comparison value of this Comparator.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<SpatialComparable>

Parameters:

o1 - the first spatial comparable

o2 - the second spatial comparable

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.
