Constructor Detail

MeasuredPoint

public MeasuredPoint()

Creates a new empty instance of MeasuredPoint. The new point is initialised.

Method Detail

initialise

public void initialise()

Put default (unusable values in this object so that it will be ready for reuse.

Overrides:

initialise in class GeoPoint

getCopy

public java.lang.Object getCopy()

Copy all elements of this point in a new instance. The measured time is also copied in a new Time object.

Specified by:

getCopy in interface ewe.util.Copyable

Overrides:

getCopy in class GeoPoint

Returns:

New MeasuredPoint with identical data

See Also:

Copyable.getCopy()

copyFrom

public void copyFrom(java.lang.Object param)

Copy all elements of point param into this instance.

Overrides:

copyFrom in class GeoPoint

Parameters:

param - Point to copy from.

timeTo

public double timeTo(MeasuredPoint pointTo)

Compute the difference of time of measurement in seconds (decimal) between this point and the given point. Positive when this point is later than pointTo.

Parameters:

pointTo - Point of comparison. Its measuredTime field must be up to date.

Returns:

The time difference in seconds (with 3 decimals).

See Also:

computeTime()

computeTime

public void computeTime()

Compute the measuredTime ewe.sys.Time object of this MeasuredPoint.

formatHeading

public java.lang.String formatHeading()

Formats the heading of this point.

Returns:

Formatted heading.

See Also:

Converters.formatHeading(double)

formatSpeed

public java.lang.String formatSpeed()

Formats the speed of this point.

Returns:

Formatted speed.
