static double geos::algorithm::Angle::angle ( const geom::Coordinate p0,
const geom::Coordinate p1 
) [static]

Returns the angle of the vector from p0 to p1, relative to the positive X-axis.

The angle is normalized to be in the range [ -Pi, Pi ].

Returns:
the normalized angle (in radians) that p0-p1 makes with the positive x-axis.
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::angle ( const geom::Coordinate p  )  [static]

Returns the angle that the vector from (0,0) to p, relative to the positive X-axis.

The angle is normalized to be in the range ( -Pi, Pi ].

Returns:
the normalized angle (in radians) that p makes with the positive x-axis.
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::angleBetween ( const geom::Coordinate tip1,
const geom::Coordinate tail,
const geom::Coordinate tip2 
) [static]

Returns the unoriented smallest angle between two vectors.

The computed angle will be in the range [0, Pi).

Parameters:
tip1 the tip of one vector
tail the tail of each vector
tip2 the tip of the other vector
Returns:
the angle between tail-tip1 and tail-tip2
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::angleBetweenOriented ( const geom::Coordinate tip1,
const geom::Coordinate tail,
const geom::Coordinate tip2 
) [static]

Returns the oriented smallest angle between two vectors.

The computed angle will be in the range (-Pi, Pi]. A positive result corresponds to a counterclockwise rotation from v1 to v2; a negative result corresponds to a clockwise rotation.

Parameters:
tip1 the tip of v1
tail the tail of each vector
tip2 the tip of v2
Returns:
the angle between v1 and v2, relative to v1
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::diff ( double  ang1,
double  ang2 
) [static]

Computes the unoriented smallest difference between two angles.

The angles are assumed to be normalized to the range [-Pi, Pi]. The result will be in the range [0, Pi].

Parameters:
ang1 the angle of one vector (in [-Pi, Pi] )
ang2 the angle of the other vector (in range [-Pi, Pi] )
Returns:
the angle (in radians) between the two vectors (in range [0, Pi] )
static int geos::algorithm::Angle::getTurn ( double  ang1,
double  ang2 
) [static]

Returns whether an angle must turn clockwise or counterclockwise to overlap another angle.

Parameters:
ang1 an angle (in radians)
ang2 an angle (in radians)
Returns:
whether a1 must turn CLOCKWISE, COUNTERCLOCKWISE or NONE to overlap a2.
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::interiorAngle ( const geom::Coordinate p0,
const geom::Coordinate p1,
const geom::Coordinate p2 
) [static]

Computes the interior angle between two segments of a ring.

The ring is assumed to be oriented in a clockwise direction. The computed angle will be in the range [0, 2Pi]

Parameters:
p0 a point of the ring

static bool geos::algorithm::Angle::isAcute ( const geom::Coordinate p0,
const geom::Coordinate p1,
const geom::Coordinate p2

Tests whether the angle between p0-p1-p2 is acute.

An angle is acute if it is less than 90 degrees.

Note: this implementation is not precise (determistic) for angles very close to 90 degrees.

Parameters:
p0 an endpoint of the angle
p1 the base of the angle
p2 the other endpoint of the angle
static bool geos::algorithm::Angle::isObtuse ( const geom::Coordinate p0,
const geom::Coordinate p1,
const geom::Coordinate p2 
) [static]

Tests whether the angle between p0-p1-p2 is obtuse.

An angle is obtuse if it is greater than 90 degrees.

Note: this implementation is not precise (determistic) for angles very close to 90 degrees.

Parameters:
p0 an endpoint of the angle
p1 the base of the angle
p2 the other endpoint of the angle

Computes the normalized value of an angle, which is the equivalent angle in the range ( -Pi, Pi ].

Parameters:
angle the angle to normalize
Returns:
an equivalent angle in the range (-Pi, Pi]
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::normalizePositive ( double  angle  )  [static]

Computes the normalized positive value of an angle, which is the equivalent angle in the range [ 0, 2*Pi ).

E.g.:

  • normalizePositive(0.0) = 0.0
  • normalizePositive(-PI) = PI

  • normalizePositive(-3PI) = PI
  • normalizePositive(-4PI) = 0
  • normalizePositive(PI) = PI
  • normalizePositive(2PI) = 0.0
  • normalizePositive(3PI) = PI
  • normalizePositive(4PI) = 0.0
Parameters:

Returns:
an equivalent positive angle
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::toDegrees ( double  radians  )  [static]

Converts from radians to degrees.

Parameters:
radians an angle in radians
Returns:
the angle in degrees
static double geos::algorithm::Angle::toRadians ( double  angleDegrees  )  [static]
