      x - x-coordinate
      y - y-coordinate
      ellipse - Ellipse equation being evaluated.
      Returns:
      value of ellipse equation at point (x,y)

    • evaluate

      public static float evaluate(float x, float y, EllipseRotated_F32 ellipse)

      Parameters:
      x - x-coordinate
      y - y-coordinate
      ellipse - Ellipse equation being evaluated.
      Returns:
      value of ellipse equation at point (x,y)

      Returns:
      The tangent

    • tangentLines

      public static boolean tangentLines(Point2D_F32 pt, EllipseRotated_F32 ellipse, Point2D_F32 tangentA, Point2D_F32 tangentB)

      Finds two points on the ellipse that in combination with point 'pt' each define a line that is tangent to the ellipse.

      Notes:
      Point 'pt' is assumed to be outside of the ellipse.
      Parameters:
      pt - Point which the lines will pass though
      ellipse - The ellipse which the lines will be tangent to
      tangentA - (output) Point on the ellipse where tangent line A hits it
      tangentB - (output) Point on the ellipse where tangent line B hits it

    • tangentLines

      public static boolean tangentLines(EllipseRotated_F32 ellipseA, EllipseRotated_F32 ellipseB, Point2D_F32 tangentA0, Point2D_F32 tangentA1, Point2D_F32 tangentA2, Point2D_F32 tangentA3, Point2D_F32 tangentB0, Point2D_F32 tangentB1, Point2D_F32 tangentB2, Point2D_F32 tangentB3)

      Finds four lines which are tangent to both ellipses. Both ellipses must not intersect. Line 0 and line 3 will not intersect the line joining the center of the two ellipses while line 1 and 2 will.
