Constructor Detail

RightCircularCylinder

public RightCircularCylinder(Line inDirection,
                             double inRadius,

Build a right circular cylinder from its radius and its axis as a line

Parameters:

inDirection - the direction of the axis of the cylinder

inRadius - the radius of the cylinder

inLength - the height of the cylinder on its axis

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the radius or the height is negative or null, or if the direction vector has a null norm.

                             double inHeight)

Build a right circular cylinder from its radius and the origin and direction of its axis

Parameters:

inOrigin - the origin of the axis

inDirection - the direction of the axis

inRadius - the radius of the cylinder

inHeight - the height of the cylinder on its axis

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the radius or the height is negative or null, or if the direction vector has a null norm.

Method Detail

getOrigin

public Vector3D getOrigin()

Returns:

the origin

getDirection

public Vector3D getDirection()

Returns:

the direction

getLength

public double getLength()

Returns:

the height

getRadius

public double getRadius()

Returns:

the radius

getBaseSurface

public double getBaseSurface()

Returns the surface of the cylinder base.

Returns:

the surface of the cylinder base

getTransversalSurf

public double getTransversalSurf()

Get transversal surface.

Returns:

the transversal surface

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:

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:
