Class WallForce

java.lang.Object
  prefuse.util.force.AbstractForce
      prefuse.util.force.WallForce

All Implemented Interfaces:

Force

public class WallForce
extends AbstractForce

Uses a gravitational force model to act as a "wall". Can be used to construct line segments which either attract or repel items.

WallForce

public WallForce(float gravConst,
                 float x1,
                 float y1,
                 float x2,
                 float y2)

Create a new WallForce.

Parameters:

gravConst - the gravitational constant of the wall

x1 - the first x-coordinate of the wall

y1 - the first y-coordinate of the wall

x2 - the second x-coordinate of the wall

y2 - the second y-coordinate of the wall

WallForce

public WallForce(float x1,
                 float y1,
                 float x2,
                 float y2)

Create a new WallForce with default gravitational constant.

Parameters:

x1 - the first x-coordinate of the wall

y1 - the first y-coordinate of the wall

x2 - the second x-coordinate of the wall

y2 - the second y-coordinate of the wall
