Class AffineLine

java.lang.Object
  extended by y.geom.AffineLine

public class AffineLine
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents a line in the 2D-dimensional affine space. The line is defined by the equation ax + by + c = 0

 

Constructor Summary
AffineLine(YPoint p1, YPoint p2)
          Creates an affine line which is defined by two points.
AffineLine(YPoint p1, YVector v)
          Creates an affine line which is defined by a point and a vector.
 
Method Summary
 double getA()
          Returns a from ax+by+c = 0
 double getB()
          Returns b from ax+by+c = 0
 double getC()
          Returns c from ax+by+c = 0
static YPoint getCrossing(AffineLine l1, AffineLine l2)
          Returns the crossing of two lines.
 YPoint getXProjection(YPoint p)
          Projects an point on the line in direction of the X-axis.
 YPoint getYProjection(YPoint p)
          Projects an point on the line in direction of the Y-axis.
 java.lang.String toString()
          Returns the equation of the line as String
