Uses of Appointable in stella.util

Fields in stella.util declared as Appointable

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
private Appointable	PointingScheduler.lasttarget The last target that was selected.

Methods in stella.util that return Appointable

Modifier and Type

Method and Description

Appointable

PointingScheduler.getHighestTarget(GlobalGrouping set, Collection<Appointable> targets) The highest target is constructed in the following way: The azimuth and altitude of the target is extracted. The tile number it corresponds to is evaluated. If this tile has been observed more often then the currently most prominent tile, the target is discarded. If this tile has been observed less then the currently most prominent tile, this tile gets the most prominent one, the target's distance to the center gets the encounter distance and the target is kept as the possible promise. If this tile has been observed the same number of times then the currently most prominent tile, this target is kept if it is closer to it's tile center.
