Constructor Detail

Plate

public Plate(Vector3D inCenter,
             Vector3D inU,
             Vector3D inV,
             double inLength,
             double inWidth)

Build a plate from the position of its center and two vectors to describe its local frame and dimensions.

Parameters:

inCenter - the center of the plate

inU - a non-normalised vector parallel to u

inV - the second vector defining the plate's plane : corrected to be orthogonal to U

inLength - the rectangle's length along U

inWidth - the rectangle's width along V (once corrected)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the vectors do not define a plane, or if the dimensions are negative or null

Method Detail

getU

public Vector3D getU()

Returns:

the U vector of the local frame

getV

public Vector3D getV()

Returns:

the V vector of the local frame

getC1

public Vector3D getC1()

Returns:

the first corner

getC2

public Vector3D getC2()

Returns:

the second corner

getC3

public Vector3D getC3()

Returns:

the third corner

getC4

public Vector3D getC4()

Returns:

the fourth corner

getLength

public double getLength()

Returns:

the length

getWidth

public double getWidth()

Returns:

the width

getCenter

public Vector3D getCenter()

Returns:

the center point

intersects

public boolean intersects(Line line)

Tests the intersection with a line.

Specified by:

intersects in interface Shape

Parameters:

line - the line

Returns:

true if the line intersects the shape

getIntersectionPoints

public Vector3D[] getIntersectionPoints(Line line)

Compute the intersection points with a line.

Specified by:

getIntersectionPoints in interface Shape

Parameters:

line - the line

Returns:

the intersection points if they exist. If no intersection is found, the dimension is zero

distanceTo

public double distanceTo(Line line)

Computes the distance to a line.

Specified by:

distanceTo in interface Shape

Parameters:

line - the line

Returns:

the shortest distance between the the line and the shape

closestPointTo

public Vector3D[] closestPointTo(Line line)

Computes the points of the shape and the line realizing the shortest distance. If the line intersects the shape, the returned points are identical : this point is the first common point found.

Specified by:

closestPointTo in interface Shape

Parameters:

line - the line

Returns:

the two points : first the one from the line, and the one from the shape.

toString

public String toString()

Get a representation for this plate. The given parameters are in the same order as in the constructor.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a representation for this plate

getCrossSection

public double getCrossSection(Vector3D direction)

Computes the cross section from the direction defined by a Vector3D.

Specified by:

getCrossSection in interface CrossSectionProvider

Parameters:

direction - the direction vector

Returns:

the cross section

getEdges

public LineSegment[] getEdges()

Returns:

the edges of the plate
