Field Details

r

public double r

The radius r of 3D node.

Constructor Details

Node3D

public Node3D()

Create a new 3D node at (0,0,0) with radius r=0.

Node3D

public Node3D(Node3D n)

Create a copy of 3D node n.

Parameters:

n - the node to copy

Node3D

public Node3D(double x,
 double y,
 double z,
 double r)

Create a new 3D node at (x,y,z) with radius r.

Parameters:

x - the x-coordinate

y - the y-coordinate

z - the z-coordinate

r - the radius

Method Details

set

public Node3D set(double x,
 double y,
 double z,
 double r)

Set the x-, y- and z-coordinates and the radius r of the 3D node.

Parameters:

x - the x-coordinate

y - the y-coordinate

z - the z-coordinate

r - the radius

Returns:

this node

set

public Node3D set(Node3D n)

Set the coordinates and radius to those of node n.

Parameters:

n - the node to copy

Returns:

this node

getR

public double getR()

Get the radius r of this 3D node.

Returns:

the radius

setR

public Node3D setR(double r)

Set the radius r of the 3D node.

Parameters:

r - the new radius

Returns:

this node

scaleR

public Node3D scaleR(double scale)

Description copied from interface: Node

Scales the radius of this node by scale.

Specified by:

scaleR in interface Node

Parameters:

scale - the scaling factor

Returns:

this node

distance2

public double distance2(Node3D m)

Calculate the distance squared between this 3D node n and node m. The distance is between the nodes, i.e. takes their respective radii into account |n-m|<sup>2</sup>.

Parameters:

m - the node to calculate distance to

Returns:

the distance to node m

distance

public double distance(Node3D m)

Calculate the distance between this 3D node n and node m. The distance is between the nodes, i.e. takes their respective radii into account |n-m|<sup>2</sup>.

For computational efficiency the fairly expensive square-roots calculations should be avoided whenever possible.

Parameters:

m - the node to calculate distance to

Returns:

the distance to node m
