Detailed Description

A LineIntersector is an algorithm that can both test whether two line segments intersect and compute the intersection point if they do.

The intersection point may be computed in a precise or non-precise manner. Computing it precisely involves rounding it to an integer. (This assumes that the input coordinates have been made precise by scaling them to an integer grid.)

◆ computeEdgeDistance()

static double geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::computeEdgeDistance	(	const geom::Coordinate &	p,
		const geom::Coordinate &	p0,
		const geom::Coordinate &	p1
	)

static

Computes the "edge distance" of an intersection point p in an edge.

The edge distance is a metric of the point along the edge. The metric used is a robust and easy to compute metric function. It is not equivalent to the usual Euclidean metric. It relies on the fact that either the x or the y ordinates of the points in the edge are unique, depending on whether the edge is longer in the horizontal or vertical direction.

NOTE: This function may produce incorrect distances for inputs where p is not precisely on p1-p2 (E.g. p = (139,9) p1 = (139,10), p2 = (280,1) produces distanct 0.0, which is incorrect.

My hypothesis is that the function is safe to use for points which are the result of rounding points which lie on the line, but not safe to use for truncated points.

◆ computeIntersection()

void geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::computeIntersection	(	const geom::Coordinate &	p,
		const geom::Coordinate &	p1,
		const geom::Coordinate &	p2
	)

Compute the intersection of a point p and the line p1-p2.

This function computes the boolean value of the hasIntersection test. The actual value of the intersection (if there is one) is equal to the value of p.

◆ getEdgeDistance()

double geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::getEdgeDistance	(	std::size_t	geomIndex,
		std::size_t	intIndex
	)		const

Computes the "edge distance" of an intersection point along the specified input line segment.

Parameters

geomIndex	is 0 or 1
intIndex	is 0 or 1

Returns: the edge distance of the intersection point

◆ getEndpoint()

const geom::Coordinate * geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::getEndpoint	(	std::size_t	segmentIndex,
		std::size_t	ptIndex
	)		const

inline

Gets an endpoint of an input segment.

Parameters

segmentIndex	the index of the input segment (0 or 1)
ptIndex	the index of the endpoint (0 or 1)

Returns: the specified endpoint

◆ getIndexAlongSegment()

std::size_t geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::getIndexAlongSegment	(	std::size_t	segmentIndex,
		std::size_t	intIndex
	)

Computes the index of the intIndex'th intersection point in the direction of a specified input line segment.

Parameters

segmentIndex	is 0 or 1
intIndex	is 0 or 1

Returns: the index of the intersection point along the segment (0 or 1)

◆ getIntersection()

const geom::Coordinate & geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::getIntersection ( std::size_t intIndex ) const

inline

Returns the intIndex'th intersection point

Parameters

intIndex is 0 or 1

Returns: the intIndex'th intersection point

◆ getIntersectionAlongSegment()

const geom::Coordinate & geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::getIntersectionAlongSegment	(	std::size_t	segmentIndex,
		std::size_t	intIndex
	)

Computes the intIndex'th intersection point in the direction of a specified input line segment.

Parameters

segmentIndex	is 0 or 1
intIndex	is 0 or 1

Returns: the intIndex'th intersection point in the direction of the specified input line segment

◆ getIntersectionNum()

size_t geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::getIntersectionNum ( ) const

inline

Returns the number of intersection points found.

This will be either 0, 1 or 2.

Referenced by geos::noding::NodedSegmentString::addIntersections().

◆ hasIntersection()

bool geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::hasIntersection ( ) const

inline

Tests whether the input geometries intersect.

Returns: true if the input geometries intersect

◆ isInteriorIntersection() [1/2]

bool geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::isInteriorIntersection ( )

inline

Tests whether either intersection point is an interior point of one of the input segments.

Returns: true if either intersection point is in the interior of one of the input segments

◆ isInteriorIntersection() [2/2]

bool geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::isInteriorIntersection ( std::size_t inputLineIndex )

inline

Tests whether either intersection point is an interior point of the specified input segment.

Returns: true if either intersection point is in the interior of the input segment

◆ isIntersection()

bool geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::isIntersection ( const geom::Coordinate & pt ) const

inline

Test whether a point is a intersection point of two line segments.

Note that if the intersection is a line segment, this method only tests for equality with the endpoints of the intersection segment. It does not return true if the input point is internal to the intersection segment.

Returns: true if the input point is one of the intersection points.

◆ isProper()

bool geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::isProper ( ) const

inline

Tests whether an intersection is proper.

The intersection between two line segments is considered proper if they intersect in a single point in the interior of both segments (e.g. the intersection is a single point and is not equal to any of the endpoints).

The intersection between a point and a line segment is considered proper if the point lies in the interior of the segment (e.g. is not equal to either of the endpoints).

Returns: true if the intersection is proper

◆ isSameSignAndNonZero()

static bool geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::isSameSignAndNonZero	(	double	a,
		double	b
	)

static

Returns false if both numbers are zero.

Returns: true if both numbers are positive or if both numbers are negative.

◆ setPrecisionModel()

void geos::algorithm::LineIntersector::setPrecisionModel ( const geom::PrecisionModel * newPM )

inline

Force computed intersection to be rounded to a given precision model.

No getter is provided, because the precision model is not required to be specified.

Parameters

newPM the PrecisionModel to use for rounding
