Class SymbolicSpace<T>

A symbolic space can be used to indicate an abstract space with a boundary. It is an extended ReferenceSpace with boundaries.

About

A symbolic space is a ReferenceSpace, and is therefore not directly as a position. It indicates a symbolic space and provides several utilities. Both a hierarchical structure and graph connection can be used to connect symbolic spaces together.

Usage

Creation

Creating a symbolic space requires a generic position type. This type indicates how the symbolic position should be interpreted.

Optionally, the space can be initialized with a display name.

const lobby = new SymbolicSpace<Absolute2DPosition>("Main lobby");
const floor = new SymbolicSpace<Absolute2DPosition>("Floor 3");

Parent space

The parent space uses a wrapper for the ReferenceSpace.parentUID.

lobby.parent = floor;

In addition, the parent is also treated as the base reference space.

Creating boundaries

Boundaries can be set of a symbolic space. Both 2D and 3D polygons are supported.

// Triangle boundary
lobby.setBounds([
 new Absolute2DPosition(2, 2),
 new Absolute2DPosition(5, 5),
 new Absolute2DPosition(8, 8)
]);

Positioning of boundaries is always relative to the parent (i.e. if the floor shifts position, you do not have to change the lobby boundaries).

Boundary utilities

Symbolic spaces provide several boundary utilities.

Checking if a position is inside a symbolic space

lobby.isInside(new Absolute2DPosition(4, 4)); // true
lobby.isInside(new Absolute2DPosition(1, 1)); // false

Centroid

The centroid is determined using the boundaries, this will be the position that is used.

AbsolutePosition to SymbolicSpace

Converting an absolute position to a symbolic space does not provide a single result. Similar to geocoders, the results are sorted based on their probability.

For this, we make use of the [[SymbolicSpaceService]]. This service acts as the data store for symbolic spaces.

SymbolicSpace to AbsolutePosition

Converting a symbolic space to a position uses the centroid that is calculated from the boundaries.

const object = new DataObject("mvdewync", "Maxim");
const position = lobby.toPosition();
