Interface IIntersectionCalculator

public interface IIntersectionCalculator

An IIntersectionCalculator is responsible for calculating the intersection point between an edge and the visual representation of its source or target node.

This interface is especially useful in conjunction with PortCalculator when adjusting the final port locations after the layout is calculated.

Method Detail

calculateIntersectionPoint

YPoint calculateIntersectionPoint(INodeLayout nodeLayout,
                                  double xOffset,
                                  double yOffset,
                                  double dx,
                                  double dy)

Calculates an intersection point between the edge and the given INodeLayout.

Implementing classes use a point on the connecting edge segment (specified with an offset to the node's center) along with a direction pointing to the node and calculate the intersection between this line and the node.

Parameters:

nodeLayout - the layout information of the node

xOffset - the x-coordinate of a point on the last line segment relative to the node's center

yOffset - the y-coordinate of a point on the last line segment relative to the node's center

dx - the x-component of the normalized direction vector indicating the direction of the segment pointing towards the node

dy - the y-component of the normalized direction vector indicating the direction of the segment pointing towards the node

Returns:

the intersection coordinates relative to the node's center or null if no such intersection was found
