Interface VisualPortDenotation

public interface VisualPortDenotation

Instances of this class describe the characteristics of a VisualPort. One instance of VisualPortDenotation is associated with each VisualPort.

A VisualPortDenotation defines the angular interval where incoming and outgoing edges are allowed to connect to the associated VisualPort.

Method Detail

getBoundedInterval

public double[] getBoundedInterval()

Return the angular interval which this denotation accepts as incoming directions for VisualEdges.

Returns:

a double array of length two, where the value stored at index 0 denotes the beginning of the interval and the value stored at index 1 denotes the end of the interval.

isDirectionAccepted

public boolean isDirectionAccepted(double direction)

Tests whether the given direction is accepted by this VisualPortDenotation.

Parameters:

direction - the direction to check (in degrees).

Returns:

true when the direction is within the interval of this VisualPortDenotation, otherwise false.

deepCopy

public VisualPortDenotation deepCopy()

Returns a deep independent copy of this VisualPortDenotation object.

Returns:

a deep independent copy of this VisualPortDenotation object.
