Detailed Description

An Object class that is the base of the line-like Object's: Segment, Line and Ray.

bool AbstractLine::equals ( const Object & rhs ) const [virtual]

Returns true if this Object is equal to rhs.

This function checks whether rhs is of the same Object type, and whether it contains the same data as this Object.

Implements Object.

double AbstractLine::slope ( ) const

Get the slope of this AbstractLine.

. For a line through points a( xa, ya ) and b ( xb, yb ), this means the value ( yb - ya ) / ( xb - xa ).

static const ObjectType* AbstractLine::stype ( ) [static]

Returns the ObjectType representing the AbstractLine type.

Reimplemented from Curve.

Reimplemented in Segment, Ray, and Line.
