Method Detail

triangulatePoints

public static Edge triangulatePoints(Graph result,
                                     DataProvider pointData,
                                     EdgeMap reverseEdgeMap)

Computes a triangulation of the given points. The calculated triangulation is represented by an embedded graph, i.e. to each edge there exists a reverse edge and the outedges around each node are in embedded order. The returned edge and the (optional) reverseEdgeMap can be used to construct all faces of the plane graph and to determine its outer face.

Parameters:

result - a graph whose nodes represent the points that need to be triangulated.

pointData - must provide the location (YPoint) for each node in the given graph.

reverseEdgeMap - a nodemap that will contain for each edge its reverse edge. If this argument is null then no reverse edge information will be available.

Returns:

an edge on the outer face of the result graph.

triangulatePoints

public static Edge triangulatePoints(YList points,
                                     Graph result,
                                     NodeMap resultMap,
                                     EdgeMap reverseEdgeMap)

Computes a triangulation of the given points. The calculated triangulation is represented by an embedded graph, i.e. to each edge there exists a reverse edge and the outedges around each node are in embedded order. The returned edge and the (optional) reverseEdgeMap can be used to construct all faces of the plane graph and to determine its outer face.

Parameters:

points - the point set to be triangulated. The points must be provided as a YList of YPoints.

result - the resulting triangulation

resultMap - the nodemap that forms the link between a point and a node.

reverseEdgeMap - a nodemap that will contain for each edge its reverse edge. If this argument is null then no reverse edge information will be available.

Returns:

an edge on the outer face of the result graph.

calcDelauneyTriangulation

public static Edge calcDelauneyTriangulation(Graph result,
                                             DataProvider pointData,
                                             EdgeMap revMap)
