Class TrackSegment


  • public class TrackSegment
    extends LayoutTrack
    TrackSegment is a segment of track on a layout linking two nodes of the layout. A node may be a LayoutTurnout, a LevelXing or a PositionablePoint.

    PositionablePoints have 1 or 2 connection points. LayoutTurnouts have 3 or 4 (crossovers) connection points, designated A, B, C, and D. LevelXing's have 4 connection points, designated A, B, C, and D.

    TrackSegments carry the connectivity information between the three types of nodes. Track Segments serve as the lines in a graph which shows layout connectivity. For the connectivity graph to be valid, all connections between nodes must be via TrackSegments.

    TrackSegments carry Block information, as do LayoutTurnouts and LevelXings.
