Method Detail

getPoint

T getPoint(int index)

This function returns the point at the specified index.

Parameters:

index - the index of the point to retrieve

Returns:

the point at the given index

getPoints

T[] getPoints()

This function returns the set of points in the metric space as an array. The returned array satisfies the requirement that the indices of the points in the array are equal to the indices of the points within the metric space.

Returns:

an array containing the points of the metric space
