    implements Comparable<S2CellId>, Serializable
    An S2CellId is a 64-bit unsigned integer that uniquely identifies a cell in the S2 cell decomposition. It has the following format:
     id = [face][face_pos]
     

    face: a 3-bit number (range 0..5) encoding the cube face.

    face_pos: a 61-bit number encoding the position of the center of this cell along the Hilbert curve over this face (see the Wiki pages for details).

    Sequentially increasing cell ids follow a continuous space-filling curve over the entire sphere. They have the following properties:

    • The id of a cell at level k consists of a 3-bit face number followed by k bit pairs that recursively select one of the four children of each cell. The next bit is always 1, and all other bits are 0. Therefore, the level of a cell is determined by the position of its lowest-numbered bit that is turned on (for a cell at level k, this position is 2 * (MAX_LEVEL - k).)
    • The id of a parent cell is at the midpoint of the range of ids spanned by its children (or by its descendants at any level).

    Leaf cells are often used to represent points on the unit sphere, and this class provides methods for converting directly between these two representations. For cells that represent 2D regions rather than discrete point, it is better to use the S2Cell class.

        public int childPosition​(int level)
        Return the child position (0..3) of this cell's ancestor at the given level, relative to its parent. The argument should be in the range 1..MAX_LEVEL. For example, childPosition(1) returns the position of this cell's level-1 ancestor within its top-level face cell.
      • rangeMin

        public S2CellId rangeMin()
        Returns the start of the range of cell ids that are contained within this cell (including itself.) The range is *inclusive* (i.e. test using >= and <=) and the return values of both this method and rangeMax() are valid leaf cell ids.
      • rangeMax

        public S2CellId rangeMax()
        Returns the end of the range of cell ids that are contained within this cell (including itself.) The range is *inclusive* (i.e. test using >= and <=) and the return values of both this method and rangeMin() are valid leaf cell ids.

        Note that because the range max is inclusive, care should be taken to iterate accordingly, for example: for (S2CellId min = x.rangeMin(); min.compareTo(x.rangeMax()) <= 0; min = min.next()) {...} If you need to convert the range to a semi-open interval [min, limit), for example to use a key-value store that only supports semi-open range queries, then do not attempt to define "limit" as rangeMax.next(). The problem is that leaf S2CellIds are 2 units apart, so the semi-open interval [min, limit) includes an additional value (rangeMax.id() + 1) which happens to be a valid S2CellId about one-third of the time and is never contained by this cell. (It always corresponds to a cell ID larger than this ID). You can define "limit" as rangeMax.id() + 1 if necessary; this is not always a valid S2CellId but can still be used with fromToken/toToken. You may also convert rangeMax() to the key space of your key- value store and define "limit" as the next larger key.

        Note that sentinel().rangeMin(), sentinel.rangeMax(), and sentinel() are all equal.

      • next

        public S2CellId next()

      • prev

        public S2CellId prev()
        Return the previous cell at the same level along the Hilbert curve. Works correctly when advancing from one face to the next, but does *not* wrap around from the last face to the first or vice versa.
      • nextWrap

        public S2CellId nextWrap()
        Like next(), but wraps around from the last face to the first and vice versa. Should *not* be used for iteration in conjunction with childBegin(), childEnd(), Begin(), or End().
      • prevWrap

        public S2CellId prevWrap()

      • advance

        public S2CellId advance​(long steps)
        This method advances or retreats the indicated number of steps along the Hilbert curve at the current level, and returns the new position. The position never advances past end(int) or before begin(int), and remains at the current level.
      • advanceWrap

        public S2CellId advanceWrap​(long steps)
        This method advances or retreats the indicated number of steps along the Hilbert curve at the current level, and returns the new position. The position wraps between the first and last faces as necessary. The input must be a valid cell id.
      • getCommonAncestorLevel

        public int getCommonAncestorLevel​(S2CellId other)
        Returns the level of the "lowest common ancestor" of this cell and "other". Note that because of the way that cell levels are numbered, this is actually the *highest* level of any shared ancestor. Returns -1 if the two cells do not have any common ancestor (i.e., they are from different faces).
      • fromToken

        public static S2CellId fromToken​(String token)
        Decodes the cell id from a compact text string suitable for display or indexing. Cells at lower levels (i.e. larger cells) are encoded into fewer characters. The maximum token length is 16.
        Parameters:
        token - the token to decode
        Returns:
        the S2CellId for that token
        Throws:
        NumberFormatException - if the token is not formatted correctly
      • toToken

        public String toToken()
        Encodes the cell id to compact text strings suitable for display or indexing. Cells at lower levels (i.e. larger cells) are encoded into fewer characters. The maximum token length is 16.

        Simple implementation: convert the id to hex and strip trailing zeros. We could use base-32 or base-64, but assuming the cells used for indexing regions are at least 100 meters across (level 16 or less), the savings would be at most 3 bytes (9 bytes hex vs. 6 bytes base-64).

        Returns:
        the encoded cell id
      • toTokenOld

        public String toTokenOld()
      • getEdgeNeighbors

        public void getEdgeNeighbors​(S2CellId[] neighbors)
        Return the four cells that are adjacent across the cell's four edges. Neighbors are returned in the order defined by S2Cell::GetEdge. All neighbors are guaranteed to be distinct.

        Requires that this cell is valid.

      • getVertexNeighbors

        public void getVertexNeighbors​(int level,
                                       Collection<S2CellId> output)
        Return the neighbors of closest vertex to this cell at the given level, by appending them to "output". Normally there are four neighbors, but the closest vertex may only have three neighbors if it is one of the 8 cube vertices.

        Requires that level < this.level(), so that we can determine which vertex is closest (in particular, level == MAX_LEVEL is not allowed). Also requires that this cell is valid.

      • getAllNeighbors

        public void getAllNeighbors​(int nbrLevel,
                                    List<S2CellId> output)
        Append all neighbors of this cell at the given level to "output". Two cells X and Y are neighbors if their boundaries intersect but their interiors do not. In particular, two cells that intersect at a single point are neighbors.

        Requires that nbrLevel >= this->level(). Note that for cells adjacent to a face vertex, the same neighbor may be appended more than once. Also requires that this cell is valid.

      • fromFaceIJ

        public static S2CellId fromFaceIJ​(int face,
                                          int i,

        public long lowestOnBit()
        Returns the lowest-numbered bit that is on for this cell id, which is equal to 1L << (2 * (MAX_LEVEL - level)). So for example, a.lsb() <= b.lsb() if and only if a.level() >= b.level(), but the first test is more efficient.
      • lowestOnBitForLevel
