Constructor Detail

HexagonBuilder

public HexagonBuilder(ReferencedEnvelope gridBounds,
                      double sideLen,
                      HexagonOrientation orientation)

Method Detail

isValidNeighbor

public boolean isValidNeighbor(Neighbor neighbor)

Tests whether a neighbor position is valid for a given orientation. Since the Hexagon class is intended to work within a grid (ie. a perfect tesselation) some combinations of neighbour position and hexagon orientation are invalid. For example, a FLAT hexagon does not have a LEFT, rather it has UPPER_LEFT and LOWER_LEFT.

Specified by:

isValidNeighbor in class PolygonBuilder

Parameters:

neighbor - neighbor position

Returns:

true if the combination is valid; false otherwise

createNeighbor

public Hexagon createNeighbor(PolygonElement el,
                              Neighbor neighbor)

Creates a new Hexagon positioned at the given neighbor position relative to the reference element.

Specified by:

createNeighbor in class PolygonBuilder

Parameters:

el - the reference hexagon

neighbor - a valid neighbour position given the reference hexagon's orientation

Returns:

a new Hexagon object

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if either argument is null or if el is not an instance of Hexagon or if the neighbor position is not valid for the reference hexagon's orientation
