/** \brief
 * Methods for computing and working with octants of the Cartesian plane.
 *
 * Octants are numbered as follows:
 *
 *   2|1
 * 3  |  0
 * ---+--
 * 4  |  7
 *   5|6
 *
 * If line segments lie along a coordinate axis, the octant is the lower of the two
 * possible values.
 *
 * Last port: noding/Octant.java rev. 1.2 (JTS-1.7)
