/** \class ClosestApproachOnHelices
|

|
|
* Abstract interface for classes which compute the points of closest
|
| 9 |
|
|
* approach of 2 helices. <br>
|
| 10 |
|
|
* For a pair of states, the calculate methods have to be called before any of
|
| 11 |
|
|
* the other methods. This will do all calculations needed to get the result.
|
| 12 |
|
|
* It returns a status which says whether the calculation was successful.
|
| 13 |
|
|
* This should be checked before getting the result. If the status is false
|
| 14 |
|
|
* and the results querried, an exception will be thrown.
