public class Sector
extends Object
implements Cacheable, Comparable<Sector>, Iterable<LatLon>

Sector represents a rectangular region of latitude and longitude. The region is defined by four angles: its minimum and maximum latitude, its minimum and maximum longitude. The angles are assumed to be normalized to +/- 90 degrees latitude and +/- 180 degrees longitude. The minimums and maximums are relative to these ranges, e.g., -80 is less than 20. Behavior of the class is undefined for angles outside these ranges. Normalization is not performed on the angles by this class, nor is it verified by the class' methods. See Angle for a description of specifying angles.

Sector instances are immutable.

public boolean isSameSector(Iterable<? extends LatLon> corners)

isSector

public static boolean isSector(Iterable<? extends LatLon> corners)

isWithinLatLonLimits

public boolean isWithinLatLonLimits()

iterator

public Iterator<LatLon> iterator()

Creates an iterator over the four corners of the sector, starting with the southwest position and continuing counter-clockwise.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<LatLon>

Returns:

an iterator for the sector.

splitBoundingSectors

public static Sector[] splitBoundingSectors(Globe globe,
                                            LatLon center,
                                            double radius)

Returns an array of Sectors encompassing a circle centered at a given position, with a given radius in meters. If the geometry defined by the circle and radius spans the international dateline, this will return two sectors, one for each side of the dateline. Otherwise, this will return a single bounding sector. This returns null if the radius is zero.

Parameters:

globe - a Globe instance.

center - the circle center location.

radius - the circle radius in meters.

Returns:

the circle's bounding sectors, or null if the radius is zero.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if either the globe or center is null, or if the radius is less than zero.

splitBoundingSectors

public static Sector[] splitBoundingSectors(Iterable<? extends LatLon> locations)

subdivide

public Sector[] subdivide()

subdivide

public Sector[] subdivide(int div)

toArrayDegrees

public double[] toArrayDegrees()

Returns a four element array containing the Sector's angles in degrees. The returned array is ordered as follows: minimum latitude, maximum latitude, minimum longitude, and maximum longitude.

Returns:

four-element array containing the Sector's angles.

toRectangleDegrees

public Rectangle2D toRectangleDegrees()

Returns a Rectangle2D corresponding to this Sector in degrees lat-lon coordinates where x corresponds to longitude and y to latitude.

Returns:

a Rectangle2D corresponding to this Sector in degrees lat-lon coordinates.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string indicating the sector's angles.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

A string indicating the sector's angles.

union

public final Sector union(Angle latitude,
                          Angle longitude)

union

public static Sector union(Iterable<? extends Sector> sectors)

union

public final Sector union(Sector that)

Returns a new sector whose angles are the extremes of the this sector and another. The new sector's minimum latitude and longitude will be the minimum of the two sectors. The new sector's maximum latitude and longitude will be the maximum of the two sectors. The sectors are assumed to be normalized to +/- 90 degrees latitude and +/- 180 degrees longitude. The result of the operation is undefined if they are not.

Parameters:

that - the sector to join with this.

Returns:

A new sector formed from the extremes of the two sectors, or this if the incoming sector is null.

union

public static Sector union(Sector sectorA,
                           Sector sectorB)
