Method Detail

computeBoundingBox

public static final Boundary computeBoundingBox(java.util.Iterator it)

Returns a Boundary containing all Boundaries belonging to the BaseComposites that are accessible by the given Iterator.

Parameters:

it - an Iterator holding BaseComposites.

Returns:

a Boundary containing all Boundaries.

contains

public static final boolean contains(int checkAgainstMode,
                                     Boundary bboxCheckFor,
                                     Boundary bboxCheckAgainst)

Checking whether the given Boundary bboxCheckAgainst contains the Boundary bboxCheckFor.

Parameters:

checkAgainstMode - the mode to use. Valid modes are CHECK_AGAINST_CENTER and CHECK_AGAINST_BBOX.

bboxCheckFor - the Boundary to check.

bboxCheckAgainst - the Boundary to check against.

Returns:

true, if the given Boundary bboxCheckAgainst contains the Boundary bboxCheckFor.

contains

public static final boolean contains(int checkAgainstMode,
                                     Boundary bboxCheckFor,
                                     BoundingBox bboxCheckAgainst)

Checking whether the given BoundingBox bboxCheckAgainst contains the Boundary bboxCheckFor.

Parameters:

checkAgainstMode - the mode to use. Valid modes are CHECK_AGAINST_CENTER and CHECK_AGAINST_BBOX.

bboxCheckFor - the Boundary to check.

bboxCheckAgainst - the BoundingBox to check against.

Returns:

true, if the given BoundingBox bboxCheckAgainst contains the Boundary bboxCheckFor.

transform

public static final void transform(Transform2D xform,
                                   Boundary bbox)

Transforms the given Boundary by meams of the given Tramsform2D.

Parameters:

xform - the Transform2D to apply.

bbox - the Boundary to transform.

transform_createnew

public static final Boundary transform_createnew(Transform2D xform,
                                                 Boundary bbox)

Returns a new Boundary that is a transformation of the given Boundary by meams of the given Tramsform2D. The given Boundary is left unchanged.

Parameters:

xform - the Transform2D to apply.

bbox - the Boundary to transform.

Returns:

a new transformed Boundary.
