      Methods

      Modifier and Type Method and Description
      static int commonHalfPlane(int quad1, int quad2)
      Returns the right-hand quadrant of the halfplane defined by the two quadrants, or -1 if the quadrants are opposite, or the quadrant if they are identical.
      static boolean isInHalfPlane(int quad, int halfPlane)
      Returns whether the given quadrant lies within the given halfplane (specified by its right-hand quadrant).
      static boolean isNorthern(int quad)
      Returns true if the given quadrant is 0 or 1.
      static boolean isOpposite(int quad1, int quad2)
      Returns true if the quadrants are 1 and 3, or 2 and 4
      static int quadrant(Coordinate p0, Coordinate p1)
      Returns the quadrant of a directed line segment from p0 to p1.
      static int quadrant(double dx, double dy)
      Returns the quadrant of a directed line segment (specified as x and y displacements, which cannot both be 0).

        Returns true if the quadrants are 1 and 3, or 2 and 4
      • commonHalfPlane

        public static int commonHalfPlane(int quad1,
                                          int quad2)
        Returns the right-hand quadrant of the halfplane defined by the two quadrants, or -1 if the quadrants are opposite, or the quadrant if they are identical.
      • isInHalfPlane

        public static boolean isInHalfPlane(int quad,
                                            int halfPlane)
