Method Detail

roundIntervalDivision

public static double roundIntervalDivision(double intervalLength,
                           int numberOfDivisions)

Calculates an nice round interval division. For instance, for intervalLenght = 1100000 and numberOfDivisions=5, the result would be 250000.

Parameters:

intervalLength - The full interval to be divided

numberOfDivisions - The exact number of divisions to perform

Returns:

A nice round interval division. The calculated result ensures that the whole interval length is covered by the proposed division, so it always fulfills the following formula: result*numberOfDivisions>=intervalLength
