See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor in a derived class.

Method Detail

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected abstract boolean checkForSameDefinition(Vector other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the Vector.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.infrastructure.DefinitionalObject) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class DefinitionalObject

Returns:

The computed hash code.

getService

@Nullable
public Object getService(@Nonnull
                                    Class<?> serviceType)

Gets the service object of the specified type.

Specified by:

getService in interface IServiceProvider

Parameters:

serviceType - An object that specifies the type of service object to get.

Returns:

The found service, or null if the service does not exist.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when serviceType is null.

Constructs a vector which represents a derivative of this vector.

Parameters:

getEvaluator

@Nonnull
public final VectorEvaluator getEvaluator()

@Nonnull

Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the Motion<Cartesian> of this vector in its parent Axes at a given JulianDate. Consider using the methods of GeometryTransformer instead of calling this method directly.

Parameters:

group - The group with which to associate the new evaluator. By grouping evaluators that are often evaluated at the same Julian dates, common computations can be performed only once for the entire group instead of multiple times for each evaluator.

Returns:

An evaluator for this vector.
