      the angle in radians
    • angle

      public static double angle(Coordinate p0, Coordinate p1)
      Returns the angle of the vector from p0 to p1, relative to the positive X-axis. The angle is normalized to be in the range [ -Pi, Pi ].
      Returns:
      the normalized angle (in radians) that p0-p1 makes with the positive x-axis.
    • angle

      public static double angle(Coordinate p)
      Returns the angle that the vector from (0,0) to p, relative to the positive X-axis. The angle is normalized to be in the range ( -Pi, Pi ].
      Returns:
      the normalized angle (in radians) that p makes with the positive x-axis.
    • isAcute

      public static boolean isAcute(Coordinate p0, Coordinate p1, Coordinate p2)
      Tests whether the angle between p0-p1-p2 is acute. An angle is acute if it is less than 90 degrees.

      Note: this implementation is not precise (deterministic) for angles very close to 90 degrees.

      Parameters:
      p0 - an endpoint of the angle
      p1 - the base of the angle
      p2 - the other endpoint of the angle
    • isObtuse

      public static boolean isObtuse(Coordinate p0, Coordinate p1, Coordinate p2)
      Tests whether the angle between p0-p1-p2 is obtuse. An angle is obtuse if it is greater than 90 degrees.

      Note: this implementation is not precise (deterministic) for angles very close to 90 degrees.

      Parameters:
      p0 - an endpoint of the angle
      p1 - the base of the angle
      p2 - the other endpoint of the angle
    • angleBetween

      public static double angleBetween(Coordinate tip1, Coordinate tail, Coordinate tip2)
      Returns the unoriented smallest angle between two vectors. The computed angle will be in the range [0, Pi).
      Parameters:
      tip1 - the tip of one vector
      tail - the tail of each vector
      tip2 - the tip of the other vector

      the angle between tail-tip1 and tail-tip2
    • angleBetweenOriented

      public static double angleBetweenOriented(Coordinate tip1, Coordinate tail, Coordinate tip2)
      Returns the oriented smallest angle between two vectors. The computed angle will be in the range (-Pi, Pi]. A positive result corresponds to a counterclockwise (CCW) rotation from v1 to v2; a negative result corresponds to a clockwise (CW) rotation; a zero result corresponds to no rotation.
      Parameters:
      tip1 - the tip of v1
      tail - the tail of each vector
      tip2 - the tip of v2
