PointAlongPath
Transforms a point to a coordinate system in which the 'axis' path is vertical or horizontal.

Syntax
C++
C#
void avl::PointAlongPath ( const avl::Point2D& inPoint, const avl::Path& inAxis, avl::Axis::Type inAxisType, float inAxisCoordinate, bool inInverse, avl::Point2D& outPoint )
Parameters
Name | Type | Default | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|
inPoint | const Point2D& | Input point | ||
inAxis | const Path& | Input axis path | ||
inAxisType | Axis::Type | Y | Type of axis the input axis path is parallel to | |
inAxisCoordinate | float | 0.0f | Coordinate of the axis path | |
inInverse | bool | True | Switches to the inverse operation | |
outPoint | Point2D& | Transformed point |
Description
This operation transforms a point - inPoint - between two coordinate systems: the one linked with 'axis' path inAxis and the original one. Direction of this conversion is based on inInverse value:
- if it is true, inPoint is converted to original coordinate system
- if it is false, inPoint is converted from original coordinate system
Coordinate system linked with inAxis is some transformation of the original one, satisfying these conditions:
- 'axis' path is represented as a straight line
- 'axis' path is horizontal if inAxisType is set to X or vertical if inAxisType is set to Y
- if inAxisType is set to X, the Y coordinate of 'axis' path is equal to inAxisCoordinate. If inAxisType is set to Y, the X coordinate of 'axis' path is equal to inAxisCoordinate
Hints
- If this filter is used to reverse ImageAlongPath transformation you should set inAxis and inAxisType to the same values as corresponding ones in ImageAlongPath. inAxisCoordinate should be set to a half of ImageAlongPath.inScanWidth.
