Class ShapeField

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.document.ShapeField

public final class ShapeField
extends Object

A base shape utility class used for both LatLon (spherical) and XY (cartesian) shape fields.

Polygon's and Line's are decomposed into a triangular mesh using the Tessellator utility class. Each ShapeField.Triangle is encoded by this base class and indexed as a seven dimension multi-value field.

Finding all shapes that intersect a range (e.g., bounding box), or target shape, at search time is efficient.

This class defines the static methods for encoding the three vertices of a tessellated triangles as a seven dimension point. The coordinates are converted from double precision values into 32 bit integers so they are sortable at index time.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

encodeTriangle

public static void encodeTriangle(byte[] bytes,
                                  int aLat,
                                  int aLon,
                                  int bLat,
                                  int bLon,
                                  int cLat,
                                  int cLon)

A triangle is encoded using 6 points and an extra point with encoded information in three bits of how to reconstruct it. Triangles are encoded with CCW orientation and might be rotated to limit the number of possible reconstructions to 2^3. Reconstruction always happens from west to east.

decodeTriangle

public static void decodeTriangle(byte[] t,
                                  int[] triangle)

Decode a triangle encoded by encodeTriangle(byte[], int, int, int, int, int, int).
