ObstacleObjectFrame
It creates an internal constraint to enforce non-overlapping relation with this obstacle object.- Parameters:
geost
- the geost constraint which this constraint is part of.obstacle
- the obstacle object responsible for this internal constraint.selectedDimensions
- the dimensions on which the constraint is applied
-

Method Details
-
checkInvariants
It checks that this constraint has consistent data structures.- Returns:
- a string describing the consistency problem with data structures, null if no problem encountered.
-
clearFrame
private void clearFrame()It creates the frame if it does not exist, and clears it if it does. -
updateFrame
public void updateFrame()updates the frame given the current values of the object coordinate variables. This method should be called whenever some of the coordinate variables of the associated object change. -

absInfeasible
Description copied from class:InternalConstraint
It provides the largest or smallest point contained in the forbidden area represented by this constraint. This point must be larger or equal (resp. smaller or equal) to the lexicographically largest (resp. smallest) point included in the forbidden area, whatever the lexical order is.TODO, is this function potentially still useful? If not remove, if yes then adapt the description about event point series. What is it used now for? I will keep it as it may be used later on, but for sure the code implementing those functions is not tested much or requires some cleaning.
This allows to build an event point series that stays consistent whatever the lexical order is, and whatever the object to place is (some shifting is applied to take the object's shape into account)
The dimension of the point returned is k+1, where k is the object dimension. The last dimension is time.
- Specified by:
absInfeasible
in classInternalConstraint
- Parameters:
minlex
- defines whether the maximal or minimal point should be returned- Returns:
- the infeasible point's coordinates. If constraint cannot generate outbox then it returns null.
-
cardInfeasible
public int cardInfeasible()Description copied from class:InternalConstraint
It provides an approximation of the number of infeasible points enforced by this constraint only. The information provided by this function cannot be accurate, since no object is passed as an argument, but some consistent approximation should exist. For instance, in the case of a forbidden area, the returned value can be the number of points included in the area.This information is used as a heuristic in the sweeping algorithm to decide which constraint to use, so that the constraints that cover the largest space are used first.
- Specified by:
cardInfeasible
in classInternalConstraint
- Returns:
- an approximation of the number of infeasible points enforced by this constraint only.
-
definingVariables
Description copied from class:InternalConstraint
It provides a collection, possibly empty, of variables which define this constraint. This information is used to build a reverse index that allows to update the absolute infeasible points of a constraint when a variable changes.- Specified by:
definingVariables
in classInternalConstraint
- Returns:
- the collection containing variables that define that constraint.
-
timeOnlyCheck
protected boolean timeOnlyCheck(Geost.SweepDirection min, LexicographicalOrder order, GeostObject o, int currentShape, int[] c) -
isFeasible
public DBox isFeasible(Geost.SweepDirection min, LexicographicalOrder order, GeostObject o, int currentShape, int[] c) Description copied from class:InternalConstraint
It determines whether the given point is a feasible origin of object o, considering this constraint only. If it is not, returns a DBox corresponding to the largest infeasible domain, considering a sweep which uses the given ordering.The boundaries of the forbidden area must have the following properties: the lower extremum has to be infeasible, but the upper extremum has to be feasible (with respect to this constraint only).
The dimension of the DBox returned is k+1, where k is the object dimension. The last dimension is time.
- Specified by:
isFeasible
in classInternalConstraint
- Parameters:
min
- the direction of the sweeporder
- the order to be usedo
- the object the constraint is applied tocurrentShape
- the shape id that is currently considered for oc
- the current position of the sweep.- Returns:
- a DBox representing the forbidden region
-
toString

isStatic
public boolean isStatic()Description copied from class:InternalConstraint
It provides information about the constraint future. If a constraint will always generate the same outboxes deeper in the tree, it should return false, so that jumps in the event point series can be done.TODO the description above suggests that it should be called isDynamic as it returns false if the constraint outboxes stay the same.
(not taking placed object into account; i.e. absInfeasible will always return the same points)
- Specified by:
isStatic
in classInternalConstraint
- Returns:
- TODO, proper description after fixing the above todo.
-
isSingleUse
public boolean isSingleUse()Description copied from class:InternalConstraint
In some cases, a constraint is used only once per sweep direction on a path from root to leaf in the search tree. In that case, the constraint can be ignored if it was seen at some point.TODO, what is the example of such constraint?
Use this function to provide the information to Geost.
- Specified by:
isSingleUse
in classInternalConstraint
- Returns:
- TODO. Is this function used at all? It seems that all implementations return false and nowhere in geost it is used.
