S2Point (Apache Commons Math 3.6.1 API)

org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.spherical.twod

## Class S2Point

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.math3.geometry.spherical.twod.S2Point

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Point<Sphere2D>

      public class S2Point
      extends Object
      implements Point<Sphere2D>

  This class represents a point on the 2-sphere.

  We use the mathematical convention to use the azimuthal angle \( \theta \) in the x-y plane as the first coordinate, and the polar angle \( \varphi \) as the second coordinate (see Spherical Coordinates in MathWorld).

  Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

      Test for the equality of two points on the 2-sphere.

      If all coordinates of two points are exactly the same, and none are `Double.NaN`, the two points are considered to be equal.

      `NaN` coordinates are considered to affect globally the vector and be equals to each other - i.e, if either (or all) coordinates of the 2D vector are equal to `Double.NaN`, the 2D vector is equal to `NaN`.

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `other` - Object to test for equality to this
