EuclideanDistance

public interface Distance<Coord extends java.lang.Number & java.lang.Comparable<? super Coord>,P extends Point<Coord>>

The Distance interface encapsulates an algorithm for determining the distance between two points.

Method Summary

double	distance(P from, P to) Returns the distance between two points.
double	distance2(P from, P to) Returns the square of the distance between two points.

Method Detail

The distance between from and to.

distance2

double distance2(P from,
                 P to)

Returns the square of the distance between two points.

Parameters:

from - The first end point.

to - The second end point.

Returns:

The square of the distance between from and to.
