public Object clone () [Inherited From Line2D]

Creates a new object of the same class as this object.

public boolean contains (double x, double y) [Inherited From Line2D]

Tests if a specified coordinate is inside the boundary of this Line2D.

Tests if a specified coordinate is inside the boundary of this
Line2D. This method is required to implement the
Shape interface, but in the case of Line2D
objects it always returns false since a line contains
no area.
Returns: false because a Line2D contains no area.
Parameters:
- x - the X coordinate of the specified point to be tested
- y - the Y coordinate of the specified point to be tested
Since: 1.2

Tests if the interior of this Line2D entirely contains the specified set of rectangular coordinates.

Tests if the interior of this Line2D entirely contains
the specified set of rectangular coordinates.
This method is required to implement the Shape interface,
but in the case of Line2D objects it always returns
false since a line contains no area.
Returns: false because a Line2D contains no area.
Parameters:
- x - the X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular area
- y - the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular area
- w - the width of the specified rectangular area
- h - the height of the specified rectangular area
Since: 1.2

public boolean contains (Point2D p) [Inherited From Line2D]

Tests if a given Point2D is inside the boundary of this Line2D.

Tests if a given Point2D is inside the boundary of
this Line2D.
This method is required to implement the Shape interface,
but in the case of Line2D objects it always returns
false since a line contains no area.
Returns: false because a Line2D contains no area.
Parameters:
- p - the specified Point2D to be tested
Since: 1.2

public boolean contains (Rectangle2D r) [Inherited From Line2D]

Tests if the interior of this Line2D entirely contains the specified Rectangle2D.

Tests if the interior of this Line2D entirely contains
the specified Rectangle2D.
This method is required to implement the Shape interface,
but in the case of Line2D objects it always returns
false since a line contains no area.
Returns: false because a Line2D contains no area.
Parameters:
- r - the specified Rectangle2D to be tested
Since: 1.2

public Rectangle getBounds () [Inherited From Line2D]

Returns an integer Rectangle that completely encloses the Shape.

Returns an integer Rectangle that completely encloses the
Shape. Note that there is no guarantee that the
returned Rectangle is the smallest bounding box that
encloses the Shape, only that the Shape
lies entirely within the indicated Rectangle. The
returned Rectangle might also fail to completely
enclose the Shape if the Shape overflows
the limited range of the integer data type. The
getBounds2D method generally returns a
tighter bounding box due to its greater flexibility in
representation.
Since: 1.2

public Rectangle2D getBounds2D ()

Returns a high precision and more accurate bounding box of the Shape than the getBounds method.

Returns a high precision and more accurate bounding box of
the Shape than the getBounds method.
Note that there is no guarantee that the returned
Rectangle2D is the smallest bounding box that encloses
the Shape, only that the Shape lies
entirely within the indicated Rectangle2D. The
bounding box returned by this method is usually tighter than that
returned by the getBounds method and never fails due
to overflow problems since the return value can be an instance of
the Rectangle2D that uses double precision values to
store the dimensions.
Since: 1.2

public Point2D getP1 () [Specified in Line2D]

Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this Line2D.

Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this
Line2D.
The iterator for this class is not multi-threaded safe,
which means that this Line2D class does not
guarantee that modifications to the geometry of this
Line2D object do not affect any iterations of that
geometry that are already in process.
Returns: a {@link PathIterator} that defines the boundary of this Line2D.
Parameters:
- at - the specified {@link AffineTransform}
Since: 1.2

public PathIterator getPathIterator (AffineTransform at, double flatness) [Inherited From Line2D]

Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this flattened Line2D.

Returns an iteration object that defines the boundary of this
flattened Line2D.
The iterator for this class is not multi-threaded safe,
which means that this Line2D class does not
guarantee that modifications to the geometry of this
Line2D object do not affect any iterations of that
geometry that are already in process.
Returns: a PathIterator that defines the boundary of the flattened Line2D
Parameters:
- at - the specified AffineTransform
- flatness - the maximum amount that the control points for a given curve can vary from colinear before a subdivided curve is replaced by a straight line connecting the end points. Since a Line2D object is always flat, this parameter is ignored.

public boolean intersects (double x, double y, double w, double h) [Inherited From Line2D]

Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified rectangular area.

Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified rectangular area. The rectangular area is considered to intersect the Shape if any point is contained in both the interior of the Shape and the specified rectangular area.

The Shape.intersects() method allows a Shape implementation to conservatively return true when:

there is a high probability that the rectangular area and the Shape intersect, but
the calculations to accurately determine this intersection are prohibitively expensive.

This means that for some Shapes this method might return true even though the rectangular area does not intersect the Shape. The Area class performs more accurate computations of geometric intersection than most Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise answer is required.
Since: 1.2

public boolean intersects (Rectangle2D r) [Inherited From Line2D]

Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the interior of a specified Rectangle2D.

Tests if the interior of the Shape intersects the
interior of a specified Rectangle2D.
The Shape.intersects() method allows a Shape
implementation to conservatively return true when:

there is a high probability that the Rectangle2D and the
Shape intersect, but
the calculations to accurately determine this intersection
are prohibitively expensive.

This means that for some Shapes this method might
return true even though the Rectangle2D does not
intersect the Shape.
The Area class performs
more accurate computations of geometric intersection than most
Shape objects and therefore can be used if a more precise
answer is required.
Since: 1.2

publicstatic int relativeCCW (double x1, double y1, double x2, double y2, double px, double py) [Inherited From Line2D]

Returns an indicator of where the specified point (px,py) lies with respect to the line segment from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2).

Returns an indicator of where the specified point (px,py) lies with respect to the line segment from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2). The return value can be either 1, -1, or 0 and indicates in which direction the specified line must pivot around its first end point, (x1,y1), in order to point at the specified point (px,py).

A return value of 1 indicates that the line segment must turn in the direction that takes the positive X axis towards the negative Y axis. In the default coordinate system used by Java 2D, this direction is counterclockwise.

A return value of -1 indicates that the line segment must turn in the direction that takes the positive X axis towards the positive Y axis. In the default coordinate system, this direction is clockwise.

A return value of 0 indicates that the point lies exactly on the line segment. Note that an indicator value of 0 is rare and not useful for determining colinearity because of floating point rounding issues.

If the point is colinear with the line segment, but not between the end points, then the value will be -1 if the point lies "beyond (x1,y1)" or 1 if the point lies "beyond (x2,y2)".
