Constructor Detail

FeatureAxis

public FeatureAxis(float x1,
                   float y1,
                   float z1,
                   float x2,
                   float y2,
                   float z2,
                   int type)

Creates a bounded feature axis. Bounded by two 3-dimensional points. Axis will be a channel, plane or ridge depending on curvature in the perpendicular plane.

Parameters:

x1 - x coordinate of end 1 of axis.

y1 - y coordinate of end 1 of axis.

z1 - z coordinate of end 1 of axis.

x2 - x coordinate of end 2 of axis.

y2 - y coordinate of end 2 of axis.

z2 - z coordinate of end 2 of axis.

type - Type of feature axis (RIDGE,PLANAR or CHANNEL).

Method Detail

getType

public int getType()

Reports the type of linear feature represented by the axis.

Returns:

Linear feature type (CHANNEL, PLANAR or RIDGE).

getEndPoints

public float[] getEndPoints()

Reports the coordinates of the ends of the axis.

Returns:

Array holding 2 sets of (x,y,z) coordinates.
