Classes

Ellipse

Methods

equals(rhs) → {boolean}

Check for equality.

Parameters:
NameTypeDescription
rhsEllipse

The object to compare to.

Returns:

True if both objects are equal.

Type: 
boolean

getA() → {number}

Get the radius of the ellipse on the horizontal axe.

Returns:

The radius of the ellipse on the horizontal axe.

Type: 
number

getB() → {number}

Get the radius of the ellipse on the vertical axe.

Returns:

The radius of the ellipse on the vertical axe.

Type: 
number

getCenter() → {Point2D}

Get the centre (point) of the ellipse.

Returns:

The center (point) of the ellipse.

Type: 
Point2D

getCentroid() → {Point2D}

Get the centroid of the ellipse.

Returns:

The centroid point.

Type: 
Point2D

getRound() → {Array.<Array.<Array.<number>>>}

Get the rounded limits of the ellipse.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse#Standard_equation.

Ellipse formula: x*x / a*a + y*y / b*b = 1.

Implies: y = (+-)(b/a) * sqrt(a*a - x*x).

Returns:

The rounded limits: list of [x, y] pairs (min, max).

Type: 
Array.<Array.<Array.<number>>>

getSurface() → {number}

Get the surface of the ellipse.

Returns:

The surface of the ellipse.

Type: 
number

getWorldSurface(spacing2D) → {number}

Get the surface of the ellipse according to a spacing.

Parameters:
NameTypeDescription
spacing2DScalar2D

The 2D spacing.

Returns:

The surface of the ellipse multiplied by the given spacing or null for null spacings.

Type: 
number

quantify(viewController, flags) → {object}

Quantify an ellipse according to view information.

Parameters:
NameTypeDescription
viewControllerViewController

The associated view controller.

flagsArray.<string>

A list of stat values to calculate.

Returns:

A quantification object.

Type: 
object
