Class AffineLine

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--y.geom.AffineLine

public class AffineLine

extends Object

This class represents a line in the 2D-dimensional affine space. The line is defined by the equation ax + by + c = 0

Constructor Summary

AffineLine(YPoint p1, YPoint p2)
Creates an affine line which is defined by two points.

AffineLine(YPoint p1, YVector v)
Creates an affine line which is defined by a point and a vector.

Method Summary

double	getA() Returns a from ax+by+c = 0
double	getB() Returns b from ax+by+c = 0
double	getC() Returns c from ax+by+c = 0
static YPoint	getCrossing(AffineLine l1, AffineLine l2) Returns the crossing of two lines.
YPoint	getXProjection(YPoint p) Projects an point on the line in direction of the X-axis.
YPoint	getYProjection(YPoint p) Projects an point on the line in direction of the Y-axis.
String	toString() Returns the equation of the line as String
