## Class AbstractSubHyperplane<S extends Space,T extends Space>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.partitioning.AbstractSubHyperplane<S,T>

- Type Parameters:
    `S` - Type of the embedding space.
    `T` - Type of the embedded sub-space.
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    SubHyperplane<S>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    SubCircle, SubLimitAngle, SubLine, SubOrientedPoint, SubPlane

      public abstract class AbstractSubHyperplane<S extends Space,T extends Space>
      extends Object
      implements SubHyperplane<S>

  This class implements the dimension-independent parts of `SubHyperplane`.

  sub-hyperplanes are obtained when parts of an `hyperplane` are chopped off by other hyperplanes that intersect it. The remaining part is a convex region. Such objects appear in `BSP trees` as the intersection of a cut hyperplane with the convex region which it splits, the chopping hyperplanes are the cut hyperplanes closer to the tree root.

    - #### AbstractSubHyperplane

          protected AbstractSubHyperplane(Hyperplane<S> hyperplane,
                               Region<T> remainingRegion)

      Build a sub-hyperplane from an hyperplane and a region.
      Parameters:
        `hyperplane` - underlying hyperplane
        `remainingRegion` - remaining region of the hyperplane

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### buildNew

          protected abstract AbstractSubHyperplane<S,T> buildNew(Hyperplane<S> hyper,
                                            Region<T> remaining)

      Build a sub-hyperplane from an hyperplane and a region.
      Parameters:
        `hyper` - underlying hyperplane
        `remaining` - remaining region of the hyperplane
      Returns:
        a new sub-hyperplane

    - #### copySelf

          public AbstractSubHyperplane<S,T> copySelf()

      Copy the instance.

      The instance created is completely independent of the original one. A deep copy is used, none of the underlying objects are shared (except for the nodes attributes and immutable objects).

      Specified by:
        `copySelf` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Returns:
        a new sub-hyperplane, copy of the instance

    - #### getHyperplane

          public Hyperplane<S> getHyperplane()

      Get the underlying hyperplane.
      Specified by:
        `getHyperplane` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Returns:
        underlying hyperplane

    - #### getRemainingRegion

          public Region<T> getRemainingRegion()

      Get the remaining region of the hyperplane.

      The returned region is expressed in the canonical hyperplane frame and has the hyperplane dimension. For example a chopped hyperplane in the 3D euclidean is a 2D plane and the corresponding region is a convex 2D polygon.

      Returns:
        remaining region of the hyperplane

    - #### getSize

          public double getSize()

      Get the size of the instance.
      Specified by:
        `getSize` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Returns:
        the size of the instance (this is a length in 1D, an area in 2D, a volume in 3D ...)

    - #### reunite

          public AbstractSubHyperplane<S,T> reunite(SubHyperplane<S> other)

      Compute the union of the instance and another sub-hyperplane.
      Specified by:
        `reunite` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Parameters:
        `other` - other sub-hyperplane to union (must be in the same hyperplane as the instance)
      Returns:
        a new sub-hyperplane, union of the instance and other

    - #### applyTransform

          public AbstractSubHyperplane<S,T> applyTransform(Transform<S,T> transform)

      Apply a transform to the instance.

      The instance must be a (D-1)-dimension sub-hyperplane with respect to the transform not a (D-2)-dimension sub-hyperplane the transform knows how to transform by itself. The transform will consist in transforming first the hyperplane and then the all region using the various methods provided by the transform.

      Parameters:
        `transform` - D-dimension transform to apply
      Returns:
        the transformed instance

    - #### side

          public abstract Side side(Hyperplane<S> hyper)

      Compute the relative position of the instance with respect to an hyperplane.
      Specified by:
        `side` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Parameters:
        `hyper` - hyperplane to check instance against
      Returns:
        one of `Side.PLUS`, `Side.MINUS`, `Side.BOTH`, `Side.HYPER`

    - #### split

          public abstract SubHyperplane.SplitSubHyperplane<S> split(Hyperplane<S> hyper)

      Split the instance in two parts by an hyperplane.
      Specified by:
        `split` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Parameters:
        `hyper` - splitting hyperplane
      Returns:
        an object containing both the part of the instance on the plus side of the hyperplane and the part of the instance on the minus side of the hyperplane

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty()

      Check if the instance is empty.
      Specified by:
        `isEmpty` in interface `SubHyperplane<S extends Space>`
      Returns:
        true if the instance is empty
