Class Angle

Object
Angle
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Angle>
Direct Known Subclasses:
Latitude, Longitude
public class Angle extends Object implements Comparable<Angle>, Serializable
An angle in degrees. An angle is the amount of rotation needed to bring one line or plane into coincidence with another, generally measured in degrees, sexagesimal degrees or grads.

This class is registered with ClassChanger, which means it can be converted to and from Double.

  • Constructor Details

    • Angle

      public Angle(double theta)
      Contructs a new angle with the specified value.
      Parameters:
      theta - Angle in degrees.

    • Angle

      public Angle(String string) throws NumberFormatException
      Constructs a newly allocated Angle object that represents the angle value represented by the string. The string should represents an angle in either fractional degrees (e.g. 45.5°) or degrees with minutes and seconds (e.g. 45°30').
      Parameters:
      string - A string to be converted to an Angle.
      Throws:
      NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable angle.
