All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleMBR

public interface MBR

A minimum bounding box for n dimensions.

Method Summary

int	getDimensions()
double	getMax(int axis) Get the maximum value for the given axis
double	getMin(int axis) Get the minimum value for the given axis
boolean	intersects(MBR other) Check if the other MBR intersects this one
<T> boolean	intersects(T t, MBRConverter<T> converter) Check if this MBR intersects the rectangle given by the object and the MBRConverter.
MBR	union(MBR mbr) Return a new MBR that is the union of this mbr and the other

Method Detail

getDimensions

int getDimensions()

Returns:

the number of dimensions this bounding box has

getMin

double getMin(int axis)

Get the minimum value for the given axis

Parameters:

axis - the axis to use

Returns:

the min value

getMax

double getMax(int axis)

Get the maximum value for the given axis

Parameters:

axis - the axis to use

Returns:

the x max value

union

MBR union(MBR mbr)

Return a new MBR that is the union of this mbr and the other

Parameters:

mbr - the MBR to create a union with

Returns:

the new MBR

intersects

boolean intersects(MBR other)

Check if the other MBR intersects this one

Parameters:

other - the MBR to check against

Returns:

true if the given MBR intersects with this MBR

intersects

<T> boolean intersects(T t,
                       MBRConverter<T> converter)

Check if this MBR intersects the rectangle given by the object and the MBRConverter.

Type Parameters:

T - the object type

Parameters:

t - a rectangular object

converter - the MBRConverter

Returns:

true if the given MBR intersects with the given object
