QuadCurve2D

public abstract class QuadCurve2D extends Object implements Shape, Cloneable
The QuadCurve2D class defines a quadratic parametric curve segment in {@code (x,y)} coordinate space.

This class is only the abstract superclass for all objects that store a 2D quadratic curve segment. The actual storage representation of the coordinates is left to the subclass.

	 * We have a convex shape bounded by quad curve Pc(t)
	 * and ine Pl(t).
	 *
	 *     P1 = (x1, y1) - start point of curve
	 *     P2 = (x2, y2) - end point of curve
	 *     Pc = (xc, yc) - control point
	 *
	 *     Pq(t) = P1*(1 - t)^2 + 2*Pc*t*(1 - t) + P2*t^2 =

	 *     Pl(t) = P1*(1 - t) + P2*t
	 *     t = [0:1]
	 *
	 *     P = (x, y) - point of interest
	 *
	 * Let's look at second derivative of quad curve equation:
	 *
	 *     Pq''(t) = 2 * (P1 - 2 * Pc + P2) = Pq''
	 *     It's constant vector.
	 *
	 * Let's draw a line through P to be parallel to this
	 * vector and find the intersection of the quad curve
	 * and the line.
	 *
	 * Pq(t) is point of intersection if system of equations
	 * below has the solution.
	 *
	 *     L(s) = P + Pq''*s == Pq(t)
	 *     Pq''*s + (P - Pq(t)) == 0
	 *
	 *     | xq''*s + (x - xq(t)) == 0
	 *     | yq''*s + (y - yq(t)) == 0
	 *
	 * This system has the solution if rank of its matrix equals to 1.
	 * That is, determinant of the matrix should be zero.
	 *
	 *     (y - yq(t))*xq'' == (x - xq(t))*yq''
	 *
	 * Let's solve this equation with 't' variable.
	 * Also let kx = x1 - 2*xc + x2
	 *          ky = y1 - 2*yc + y2
	 *
	 *     t0q = (1/2)*((x - x1)*ky - (y - y1)*kx) /
	 *                 ((xc - x1)*ky - (yc - y1)*kx)
	 *
	 * Let's do the same for our line Pl(t):
	 *
	 *     t0l = ((x - x1)*ky - (y - y1)*kx) /
	 *           ((x2 - x1)*ky - (y2 - y1)*kx)
	 *
	 * It's easy to check that t0q == t0l. This fact means
	 * we can compute t0 only one time.
	 *
	 * In case t0 < 0 or t0 > 1, we have an intersections outside
	 * of shape bounds. So, P is definitely out of shape.
	 *
	 * In case t0 is inside [0:1], we should calculate Pq(t0)
	 * and Pl(t0). We have three points for now, and all of them
	 * lie on one line. So, we just need to detect, is our point
	 * of interest between points of intersections or not.
	 *
	 * If the denominator in the t0q and t0l equations is
	 * zero, then the points must be collinear and so the
	 * curve is degenerate and encloses no area.  Thus the
	 * result is false.

public static intsolveQuadratic(double[] eqn)
Solves the quadratic whose coefficients are in the eqn array and places the non-complex roots back into the same array, returning the number of roots. The quadratic solved is represented by the equation:
eqn = {C, B, A};
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
A return value of -1 is used to distinguish a constant equation, which might be always 0 or never 0, from an equation that has no zeroes.

the number of roots, or -1 if the equation is a constant

public static voidsubdivide(double[] src, int srcoff, double[] left, int leftoff, double[] right, int rightoff)
Subdivides the quadratic curve specified by the coordinates stored in the src array at indices srcoff through srcoff + 5 and stores the resulting two subdivided curves into the two result arrays at the corresponding indices. Either or both of the left and right arrays can be null or a reference to the same array and offset as the src array. Note that the last point in the first subdivided curve is the same as the first point in the second subdivided curve. Thus, it is possible to pass the same array for left and right and to use offsets such that rightoff equals leftoff + 4 in order to avoid allocating extra storage for this common point.
