public abstract class Element
extends java.lang.Object
implements Element

Title: Element

Interaction: An Element includes the following targets:

• TARGET_POSITION : Allows the element to be repositioned
• TARGET_SIZE : Allows the element to be resized

The actual position (and implementation) of the target depends on the element.

getTransformation

public Transformation getTransformation()

Description copied from interface: Element

Returns a clone of the element transformation

getTransformation in interface Element

Returns:

Transformation a clone of the element's transformation

setTransformation

public void setTransformation(Transformation transformation)

Description copied from interface: Element

Sets the internal transformation of the element, that is, the transformation that converts the standard XYZ axes to the body's internal reference axes. The transformation is copied and cannot be accessed by users directy. This implies that changing the original transformation has no effect on the element unless a new setTransformation() is invoked. The transformation uses the body's position as its origin.

Specified by:

setTransformation in interface Element

Parameters:

transformation - the new transformation

toSpaceFrame

public double[] toSpaceFrame(double[] vector)

Description copied from interface: Element

This method transforms a double[3] vector from the body's frame to the space's frame.

Specified by:

toSpaceFrame in interface Element

Parameters:

vector - double[] The original coordinates in the body frame

Returns:

double[] The same array once transformed

toBodyFrame

Description copied from interface: Element

This method converts a double[3] vector from the space's frame to the body's frame.

This only works properly if the internal transformation is not set (i.e. it is the identity) or if it is invertible. Otherwise, a call to this method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException exception.

Specified by:

toBodyFrame in interface Element

Parameters:

vector - double[] The original coordinates in the space

Returns:

double[] The same array with the body coordinates

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
