geoComplex
Interface GeoCell

All Superinterfaces:

Cell

All Known Implementing Classes:

DBGeoCell, StandardGeoCell

public interface GeoCell

extends Cell

Represents a cell of a geometric complex, adding geometric information to the Cell interface. The geometry of the cell (that is: an embedding of this cell into n-dimensional euclidean space) is defined by a Geometry object.

Method Summary

boolean	contains(Point p) Test, if the Cell contains a given point.
GeoComplex	getGeoComplex() Returns the GeoComplex containing this cell.
Geometry	getGeometry() Returns the geometric information of this cell.
java.awt.Shape	toShape(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform transform) Returns this cell as a shape, if this cell is contained in a two-dimensional complex.

Method Detail

getGeoComplex

public GeoComplex getGeoComplex()

Returns the GeoComplex containing this cell. This is a shortcut for (GeoComplex) getComplex().

getGeometry

public Geometry getGeometry()

Returns the geometric information of this cell.

Returns:

the associated Geometry object containing the geometric information of this cell

contains

public boolean contains(Point p)

Test, if the Cell contains a given point.

Parameters:

p - a point

Returns:

true iff the point is contained in the cell

toShape

public java.awt.Shape toShape(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform transform)

Returns this cell as a shape, if this cell is contained in a two-dimensional complex.

Returns:

a Shape object describing the cell
