Class Path3D

java.lang.Object
org.jlab.geom.prim.Path3D
All Implemented Interfaces:
Transformable, Showable
public class Path3D extends Object implements Transformable, Showable
A polyline represented by a sequence of points. Polylines are useful for representing the path of a particle.

Points in the polyline can added or retrieved via addPoint(org.jlab.geom.prim.Point3D) and point(int). Alternatively, polylines can be interpreted as a sequence of lines accessible via getLine(int).

For testing purposes, polylines can be randomly generated using the generate(org.jlab.geom.prim.Point3D, org.jlab.geom.prim.Vector3D, double, int) and generateRandom(org.jlab.geom.prim.Point3D, double, double, double, double, double, int) methods.
