SegmentPointComparator

```
public class SegmentPointComparator
extends Object
```
Implements a robust method of comparing the relative position of two points along the same segment. The coordinates are assumed to lie "near" the segment. This means that this algorithm will only return correct results if the input coordinates have the same precision and correspond to rounded values of exact coordinates lying on the segment.

Constructor and Description
`SegmentPointComparator()`

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static int`	`compare(int octant, Coordinate p0, Coordinate p1)` Compares two `Coordinate`s for their relative position along a segment lying in the specified `Octant`.
`static int`	`relativeSign(double x0, double x1)`

Constructor Detail
- SegmentPointComparator
```
public SegmentPointComparator()
```

public static int compare(int octant,
                          Coordinate p0,
                          Coordinate p1)

Compares two Coordinates for their relative position along a segment lying in the specified Octant.

Returns:: -1 node0 occurs first; 0 the two nodes are equal; 1 node1 occurs first

                               double x1)
