booleanCombination - combination to be applied : "AND" or "OR"

Method Detail

getAngularDistance

public double getAngularDistance(Vector3D direction)

Computes the angular distance between a vector and the border of the field. The result is positive if the direction is in the field, negative otherwise. In some cases, this value can be approximative : in the "OR" case, inside of the field, and in the "AND" case ouside of it.

Specified by:

getAngularDistance in interface IFieldOfView

Parameters:

direction - the direction vector (expressed in the tropocentric coordinate system of the object)

Returns:

the angular distance

isInTheField

public boolean isInTheField(Vector3D direction)

Specified by:

isInTheField in interface IFieldOfView

Parameters:

direction - a direction vector (expressed in the topocentric coordinate system of the object)

Returns:

true if the direction is in the field

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface IFieldOfView

Returns:

the name of the field
