Method Detail

getBaseCurve

Curve getBaseCurve()

Returns the Curve that the curve segment's definition is based on.

Returns:

the Curve used as the base geometry

getDistance

Measure getDistance(Unit uom)

Returns the distance from the base Curve.

Parameters:

uom - units-of-measure that the distance shall be expressed as, or null for units of the underlying coordinate system

Returns:

the distance in the the requested uom

getDirection

Point getDirection()

Returns the direction of the offset from the base Curve.

Returns:

the direction of the offset (to be understood as an offset vector)
