Method Summary

FaultTrace	clone() Overriden to return a deep copy of this LocationList.
double	getAveStrike() This returns the average strike (weight average by length).
double	getDipDirection() This returns the dip direction (between 0 and 360 degrees) defined by stike direction + 90.
double	getMinDistance(FaultTrace faultTrace, double discrInterval)
String	getName() Returns the name of this object
int	getNumLocations()
double	getStrikeDirection() This returns the strike direction (between 0 and 360 degrees) defined by the first and last points only.
double	getStrikeDirectionDifference(FaultTrace trace) This returns the change in strike direction in going from this trace to the one passed in (input_trace_azimuth-this_azimuth), where this accounts the change in sign for azimuths at 180 degrees.
double	getTraceLength() This returns the total fault-trace length in km

Constructor Detail

FaultTrace

public FaultTrace(String faultName)

Method Detail

setName

public void setName(String faultName)

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Named

Returns the name of this object

Specified by:

getName in interface Named

getNumLocations

public int getNumLocations()

getTraceLength

public double getTraceLength()

This returns the total fault-trace length in km

Returns:

getAveStrike

public double getAveStrike()

This returns the average strike (weight average by length).

Note that this method is significantly slower than getStrikeDirection(), while providing almost identical results (typically ~0.08 degrees). See StrikeDirectionMethods for more information.

Returns:

getStrikeDirection

public double getStrikeDirection()

This returns the strike direction (between 0 and 360 degrees) defined by the first and last points only.

It is significantly faster than getAveStrike() and returns almost identical results, typically ~0.08 degrees. See StrikeDirectionMethods for more information.

Returns:

strike direction

getDipDirection

public double getDipDirection()

This returns the dip direction (between 0 and 360 degrees) defined by stike direction + 90.

Returns:

dip direction

See Also:

getStrikeDirection

getStrikeDirectionDifference

public double getStrikeDirectionDifference(FaultTrace trace)

This returns the change in strike direction in going from this trace to the one passed in (input_trace_azimuth-this_azimuth), where this accounts the change in sign for azimuths at 180 degrees. The output is between -180 and 180 degress).

Returns:

getMinDistance

public double getMinDistance(FaultTrace faultTrace,
                             double discrInterval)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class LocationList

clone

public FaultTrace clone()

Description copied from class: LocationList

Overriden to return a deep copy of this LocationList.

Overrides:

clone in class LocationList

Returns:

a deep copy of this list
