  • Method Details

    • getDimensions

      int getDimensions()
      Returns number of dimensions of this point implementation.
      Returns:
      number of dimensions.

    • getInhomogeneousCoordinate

      double getInhomogeneousCoordinate(int dim)
      Gets value of inhomogeneous coordinate for provided dimension.
      Parameters:
