Detailed Description

Represents a homogeneous coordinate in a 2-D coordinate space.

HCoordinate are used as a clean way of computing intersections between line segments.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HCoordinate()

geos::algorithm::HCoordinate::HCoordinate	(	const geom::Coordinate &	p1,
		const geom::Coordinate &	p2
	)

Constructs a homogeneous coordinate which is the intersection of the lines define by the homogenous coordinates represented by two Coordinates.

Parameters

p1
p2

Member Function Documentation

intersection()

static void geos::algorithm::HCoordinate::intersection ( const geom::Coordinate &  p1, const geom::Coordinate &  p2, const geom::Coordinate &  q1, const geom::Coordinate &  q2, geom::Coordinate &  ret  )

static

Computes the (approximate) intersection point between two line segments using homogeneous coordinates.

Note

this algorithm is not numerically stable; i.e. it can produce intersection points which lie outside the envelope of the line segments themselves. In order to increase the precision of the calculation input points should be normalized before passing them to this routine.
