## Detailed Description

Models the end of an edge incident on a node.

EdgeEnds have a direction determined by the direction of the ray from the initial point to the next point. EdgeEnds are comparable under the ordering "a has a greater angle with the x-axis than b". This ordering is used to sort EdgeEnds around a node.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

geos::geomgraph::EdgeEnd::EdgeEnd | ( | Edge * | newEdge,
|  | const geom::Coordinate & | newP0,
|  | const geom::Coordinate & | newP1,
|  | Label * | newLabel = `NULL`
| ) |  |

NOTES:

- takes ownership of given Label (if any)
- keeps a pointer to given Edge, make sure it's not deleted before the EdgeEnd.
- copies given Coordinates (maybe we should avoid that)

## Member Function Documentation

Implements the total order relation:

a has a greater angle with the positive x-axis than b

Using the obvious algorithm of simply computing the angle is not robust, since the angle calculation is obviously susceptible to roundoff. A robust algorithm is:

- first compare the quadrant. If the quadrants are different, it it trivial to determine which vector is "greater".
- if the vectors lie in the same quadrant, the computeOrientation function can be used to decide the relative orientation of the vectors.
