Method Detail

center

public static int center(int secondary,
                         int primary)

Centers the secondary length relative to the primary length. The result can be negative since it is possible that the secondary length is larger than the primary length.

Example: You have a picture (secondary) that you want to center on a wall (primary).

Parameters:

secondary - The secondary length.

primary - The primary length.

Returns:

The secondary start position relative to the primary length.

center

public static double center(double secondary,
                            double primary)

Centers the secondary length relative to the primary length. Uses the same equation as for centering as found for int values.

Parameters:

secondary - The secondary length.

primary - The primary length.

Returns:

The secondary start position relative to the primary length.

center(int, int)

center

public static float center(float secondary,
                           float primary)

Centers the secondary length relative to the primary length. Uses the same equation as for centering as found for int values.

Parameters:

secondary - The secondary length.

primary - The primary length.

Returns:

The secondary start position relative to the primary length.
