                         boolean ascending)

This constructor initializes the comparator either with comparison by X or Y as well. Either in ascending manner or descending.

Parameters:

useY - if true then Y is used for comparison as well as X

ascending - if true then the ordering is done in ascending manner, otherwise descending

Method Detail

isUsingY

public boolean isUsingY()

Returns whether the Y used for ordering as well.

Returns:

true if Y is used as well

public int compare(L1Point o1,
                   L1Point o2)

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator<L1Point>

Specified by:
