## Class ShapeField

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.document.ShapeField

-     public final class ShapeField
      extends Object

  A base shape utility class used for both LatLon (spherical) and XY (cartesian) shape fields.

  `Polygon`'s and `Line`'s are decomposed into a triangular mesh using the `Tessellator` utility class. Each `ShapeField.Triangle` is encoded by this base class and indexed as a seven dimension multi-value field.

  Finding all shapes that intersect a range (e.g., bounding box), or target shape, at search time is efficient.

  This class defines the static methods for encoding the three vertices of a tessellated triangles as a seven dimension point. The coordinates are converted from double precision values into 32 bit integers so they are sortable at index time.

    - #### encodeTriangle

          public static void encodeTriangle​(byte[] bytes,
                                            int aY,
                                            int aX,
                                            boolean ab,
                                            int bY,
                                            int bX,
                                            boolean bc,
                                            int cY,
                                            int cX,
                                            boolean ca)

      A triangle is encoded using 6 points and an extra point with encoded information in three bits of how to reconstruct it. Triangles are encoded with CCW orientation and might be rotated to limit the number of possible reconstructions to 2^3. Reconstruction always happens from west to east.

    - #### decodeTriangle

          public static void decodeTriangle​(byte[] t,
                                            ShapeField.DecodedTriangle triangle)

      Decode a triangle encoded by `encodeTriangle(byte[], int, int, boolean, int, int, boolean, int, int, boolean)`.
