Since:
7/9/00

Variable Index

o points
The vector of points that define the polygonal curve

Constructor Index

o EDU.emporia.mathtools.PolygonalCurve()
no-argument constructor

Method Index

o addPoint(Point2D.Double)
Adds a point to be used to construct the polygon
o addPoint(double, double)
Adds a point to be used to construct the polygon
o addPoints(Point2D.Double[])
Adds an array of points to be used to define the polygon
o clearPoints()
o getPoint(double)
Returns the point correponding to the specified index
o getPoints()
Gets the array of points that are being used to define the curve
o removeAllPoints()
Clears all the points out to go back to an empty curve.
o removePoint(Point2D.Double)
Removes the point from the list of points to be used
o removePoint(double, double)

Variables

o points 
public java.util.Vector points
The vector of points that define the polygonal curve

Constructors

o PolygonalCurve 
public PolygonalCurve()
no-argument constructor

Methods

o addPoint 
public void addPoint(EDU.emporia.mathtools.Point2D.Double p)
Adds a point to be used to construct the polygon

Parameters:
p - The point to be added
o addPoint 
public void addPoint(double x,
                     double y)
Adds a point to be used to construct the polygon

Parameters:
x - The x-coordinate of the point
y - The y-coordinate of the point
o addPoints 
public void addPoints(EDU.emporia.mathtools.Point2D.Double[] p)
Adds an array of points to be used to define the polygon

Parameters:
p - The array of points
o clearPoints 
public void clearPoints()
o getPoint 
public EDU.emporia.mathtools.Point2D getPoint(double u)
Returns the point correponding to the specified index

Parameters:
u - The index of the point.
Returns:
The point at that index. If the index is outside the bounds of the defined point it returns a point both of whose coordinates are Double.NaN
Overrides:
getPoint in class ParametricCurve
o getPoints 
public EDU.emporia.mathtools.Point2D.Double[] getPoints()
Gets the array of points that are being used to define the curve

o removeAllPoints 
public void removeAllPoints()
Clears all the points out to go back to an empty curve.

o removePoint 
public void removePoint(EDU.emporia.mathtools.Point2D.Double p)
Removes the point from the list of points to be used

Parameters:
p - The point to be removed
o removePoint 
public void removePoint(double x,
                        double y)
Removes the point from the list of points to be used

Parameters:
x - The x-coordinate of the point to be used
y - The y-coordinate of the point to be used
