Interface Hex

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleHex, Triple

public interface Hex

A triple of Rhombs, any two of which have a common edge. This triple can be flipped, which shifts the three Rhombs to opposite sides of the hex.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	contains(Rhomb jj) Determine if this contains a given Rhomb.
SimpleHex	createSimpleHex(java.util.List<Rhomb> allJoins, java.util.List<Rhomb> newJoins) Create a simplified version of this.
java.util.List<Hex>	flip() Flip the Rhombs in this Hex.
SimplePolygon2D	getHex() Getter method.
Rhomb[]	getJoins() Getter method.
boolean	valid() Determine if this represents a hexagon--i.e., if the three Rhombs are still in contact.

Method Detail

getJoins

Rhomb[] getJoins()

Getter method.

Returns:

A list of the three Rhombs.

getHex

SimplePolygon2D getHex()

Getter method.

Returns:

A polygon equal to the union of the three rhombs.

createSimpleHex

SimpleHex createSimpleHex(java.util.List<Rhomb> allJoins,
                        java.util.List<Rhomb> newJoins)

Create a simplified version of this.

Returns:

A SimpleHex with all the essential information of this.

valid

boolean valid()

Determine if this represents a hexagon--i.e., if the three Rhombs are still in contact.

Returns:

true if the three Rhombs are still in contact.

contains

boolean contains(Rhomb jj)

Determine if this contains a given Rhomb.

Parameters:

jj - The Rhomb we're looking for.

Returns:

true if this contains jj, false otherwise.

flip

java.util.List<Hex> flip()

Flip the Rhombs in this Hex. This shifts them to opposite sides of the hex.

Returns:

A list of all Hexes created or destroyed by this flip.
