Thread: Another Method,

Well yea. Here's basically whats up,

Here's the enum:

public enum Direction {
 
	EAST, NORTHEAST, NORTH, NORTHWEST, WEST, SOUTHWEST, SOUTH, SOUTHEAST, UNDEFINED;
 
}

I need a method to return a "Direction" ^ based on 2 points i.e:



All are in perspective to "Me"

Anypoint in the DarkRed box is north,
Anypoint in the purple box is north-west
Anypoint in the Orange box is north-east

etc etc,

How the method signature would look like:

	public static Direction getDirection(Point startPoint, Point endPoint)  {
		String dirs[] = {"EAST", "NORTHEAST", "NORTH", "NORTHWEST", "WEST", "SOUTHWEST", "SOUTH", "SOUTHEAST"};
		String direction = dirs[ (int) degree % 8];
		for(Direction dir : Direction.values()) {
			if(dir.toString().equalsIgnoreCase(direction)) {
				return dir;
			}
		}
		return Direction.UNDEFINED;
	}

Any ideas?

Just get the angle between and do some if-else loops to see which quadrant it's in.
