      protected Geometry​(Material material)
      Construct a new Geometry with the given material.
      Parameters:
      material - The Material the geometry is made from.

    • normal

      public abstract NormalizedVector normal​(Point point)
      Calculates the normal to the Geometry at the given Point. If the given Point is not on the surface of the Geometry the resulting behaviour is undefined.
      Parameters:
      point - The Point at which to calculate the normal.
      Returns:
      A NormalizedVector perpendicular to the surface of the shape at the given Point.

    • intersection

      protected Intersection intersection​(Point point)
      Create an intersection object with this geometry and the given Point.
      Parameters:
      point - The point at which the intersection occurs.
      Returns:
      An Intersection with this geometry at the given point.
