org.jacop.constraints.diffn.Nooverlap

Direct Known Subclasses:

Diffn

public class Nooverlap
extends Constraint

Nooverlap constraint assures that any two rectangles from a vector of rectangles does not overlap in at least one direction. It is a simple implementation which does not use sophisticated techniques for efficient backtracking.

Method Detail

consistency

public void consistency(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It is a (most probably incomplete) consistency function which removes the values from variables domains. Only values which do not have any support in a solution space are removed.

Specified by:

consistency in class Constraint

Parameters:

store - constraint store within which the constraint consistency is being checked.

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent

public int getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent()

Specified by:

getDefaultConsistencyPruningEvent in class Constraint

impose

public void impose(Store store)

Description copied from class: Constraint

It imposes the constraint in a given store.

Overrides:

impose in class Constraint

Parameters:

store - the constraint store to which the constraint is imposed to.

satisfied

public boolean satisfied()

notSatisfied

public boolean notSatisfied()

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Constraint

It produces a string representation of a constraint state.

Overrides:

toString in class Constraint
