All Implemented Interfaces:

Immutable

public class XyRay
extends java.lang.Object
implements Immutable

A ray in (x, y) space.

Rays begin at a point and extend infinitely far in a single direction. You can think of them as a "half" line, since you can place a point arbitrarily along a run and split it into two rays going in opposite directions.
