Class IntervalSize

    java.lang.Object
      com.vividsolutions.jts.index.quadtree.IntervalSize

    public class IntervalSize

extends java.lang.Object

Provides a test for whether an interval is so small it should be considered as zero for the purposes of inserting it into a binary tree. The reason this check is necessary is that round-off error can cause the algorithm used to subdivide an interval to fail, by computing a midpoint value which does not lie strictly between the endpoints.

Version:
  1.7

Field Summary
`static int` | `MIN_BINARY_EXPONENT` This value is chosen to be a few powers of 2 less than the number of bits available in the double representation (i.e.

Constructor Summary
`IntervalSize()`

Method Summary
`static boolean` | `isZeroWidth(double min, double max)` Computes whether the interval [min, max] is effectively zero width.

Field Detail

### MIN_BINARY_EXPONENT

    public static final int MIN_BINARY_EXPONENT

  This value is chosen to be a few powers of 2 less than the number of bits available in the double representation (i.e. 53). This should allow enough extra precision for simple computations to be correct, at least for comparison purposes.

Method Detail

### isZeroWidth

    public static boolean isZeroWidth(double min,
                                      double max)

  Computes whether the interval [min, max] is effectively zero width. I.e. the width of the interval is so much less than the location of the interval that the midpoint of the interval cannot be represented precisely.
