Class Octant


  • public class Octant
    extends Object
    Methods for computing and working with octants of the Cartesian plane Octants are numbered as follows:
      \2|1/
     3 \|/ 0
     ---+--
     4 /|\ 7
      /5|6\
     
    If line segments lie along a coordinate axis, the octant is the lower of the two possible values.

      • octant

        public static int octant​(double dx,
                                 double dy)
        Returns the octant of a directed line segment (specified as x and y displacements, which cannot both be 0).
      • octant

        public static int octant​(Coordinate p0,
                                 Coordinate p1)
        Returns the octant of a directed line segment from p0 to p1.
