Class 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 Detail

      • 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.
