  • Method Details

    • dimension

      int dimension()
      Returns the intrinsic dimension of this geometric object.

      Examples:

      • Point: 0
      • Line/Segment: 1
      • Plane/Surface: 2
      • Volume: 3

      Returns:
      the dimension

    • ambientDimension

      int ambientDimension()
      Returns the dimension of the ambient space containing this object.

      For example, a 2D plane in 3D space has dimension=2 but ambientDimension=3.

      Returns:
      the ambient space dimension

    • description

      String description()
      Returns a human-readable description of this geometric object.
      Returns:
      description string
