ManifoldSolver (dyn4j 4.0.2 API)

public interface ManifoldSolver

Finds a contact Manifold for two given Convex Shapes that are in collision.
A contact Manifold is a collection of contact points for a collision. For two dimensions, this will never be more than two contacts.
A ManifoldSolver relies on the Penetration object returned from a NarrowphaseDetector to determine the contact Manifold. The Manifolds have ids to facilitate caching of contact information.
It's possible that no contact points are returned, in which case the getManifold(Penetration, Convex, Transform, Convex, Transform, Manifold) method will return false.

boolean getManifold(Penetration penetration,
                    Convex convex1,
                    Transform transform1,
                    Convex convex2,
                    Transform transform2,

```
    Returns true if there exists a valid contact manifold between the two Convex Shapes.
    When returning true, this method fills in the Manifold object with the points, depth, and normal.
    The given Manifold object will be cleared using the Manifold.clear() method. This allows reuse of the Manifold if desired.
    The Penetration object will be left unchanged by this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    penetration - the Penetration
    
    convex1 - the first Convex Shape
    
    transform1 - the first Shape's Transform
    
    convex2 - the second Convex Shape
    
    transform2 - the second Shape's Transform
    
    manifold - the Manifold object to fill
    
    Returns:
