Geometry index. In coordination chemistry and crystallography, the geometry index or structural parameter (τ) is a number ranging from 0 to 1 that indicates what the geometry of the coordination center is. The first such parameter for 5-coordinate compounds was developed in 1984. [1] Later, parameters for 4-coordinate compounds were developed. [2]
The smallest-circle problem in the plane is an example of a facility location problem (the 1-center problem) in which the location of a new facility must be chosen to provide service to a number of customers, minimizing the farthest distance that any customer must travel to reach the new facility. [3] Both the smallest circle problem in the ...
JTS Topology Suite (Java Topology Suite) is an open-source Java software library that provides an object model for Euclidean planar linear geometry together with a set of fundamental geometric functions. JTS is primarily intended to be used as a core component of vector-based geomatics software such as geographical information systems. [2]
Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine simpler objects, [1] potentially generating visually complex objects by combining a few primitive ones. [2][3] In 3D computer graphics and CAD, CSG is often used in procedural modeling. CSG can also be performed on polygonal ...
In geometry, the geometric median of a discrete point set in a Euclidean space is the point minimizing the sum of distances to the sample points. This generalizes the median, which has the property of minimizing the sum of distances or absolute differences for one-dimensional data. It is also known as the spatial median, [1] Euclidean minisum ...
A quadtree is a tree data structure in which each internal node has exactly four children. Quadtrees are the two-dimensional analog of octrees and are most often used to partition a two-dimensional space by recursively subdividing it into four quadrants or regions.
A series of geometric shapes enclosed by its minimum bounding rectangle. In computational geometry, the minimum bounding rectangle (MBR), also known as bounding box (BBOX) or envelope, is an expression of the maximum extents of a two-dimensional object (e.g. point, line, polygon) or set of objects within its x-y coordinate system; in other words min(x), max(x), min(y), max(y).
The Java collections framework is a set of classes and interfaces that implement commonly reusable collection data structures. [1] Although referred to as a framework, it works in a manner of a library. The collections framework provides both interfaces that define various collections and classes that implement them.
