Angle (Geotools modules 21.0 API)

Object
- Angle

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Angle>

Direct Known Subclasses:

Latitude, Longitude
```
public class Angle
extends Object
implements Comparable<Angle>, Serializable
```
An angle in degrees. An angle is the amount of rotation needed to bring one line or plane into coincidence with another, generally measured in degrees, sexagesimal degrees or grads.

- Constructor Detail
  - Angle
```
public Angle(double theta)
```
    Contructs a new angle with the specified value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    theta - Angle in degrees.
  - Angle
```
public Angle(String string)
      throws NumberFormatException
```
    Constructs a newly allocated Angle object that represents the angle value represented by the string. The string should represents an angle in either fractional degrees (e.g. 45.5°) or degrees with minutes and seconds (e.g. 45°30').
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - A string to be converted to an Angle.
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - if the string does not contain a parsable angle.
- Method Detail
  - degrees
```
public double degrees()
```
    Returns the angle value in degrees.
  - radians
```
public double radians()
```
    Returns the angle value in radians.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hash code for this Angle object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Compares the specified object with this angle for equality.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(Angle that)
```
    Compares two Angle objects numerically. The comparaison is done as if by the Double.compare(double,double) method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<Angle>
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of this Angle object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
