InscribeRegionInRegion

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl

Shifts source region so that it is contained in target region.

Syntax

void avl::InscribeRegionInRegion
(
	const avl::Region& inTargetRegion,
	const avl::Region& inSourceRegion,
	avl::ShiftType::Type inPossibleShift,
	avl::FitType::Type inFitType,
	atl::Conditional<int>& outShiftX,
	atl::Conditional<int>& outShiftY,
	atl::Conditional<avl::Region>& outShiftedRegion
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
inTargetRegion	const Region&	Region to contain source region
inSourceRegion	const Region&	Region to be shifted
inPossibleShift	ShiftType::Type	Possible directions of shift
inFitType	FitType::Type	Determines if the common border length should be maximized
outShiftX	Conditional<int>&	X coordinate of the shift
outShiftY	Conditional<int>&	Y coordinate of the shift
outShiftedRegion	Conditional<Region>&	Shifted source region

Description

The filter shifts inSourceRegion so that it is entirely contained in inTargetRegion. When inFitType is FirstFit, the function returns first shift. With inFitType set to BestFit, the function chooses from all possible shifts one that maximizes length of common border of target region and shifted source region. Parameter inPossibleShift defines directions in which source region should be shifted. Possible values are Any, Vertical, Horizontal.

All return values are conditional. In case appropriate shift exists, outShiftX and outShiftY define its coordinates. outShiftedRegion is inSourceRegion translated by vector (outShiftX,outShiftY) and with dimensions of inTargetRegion.

Examples

InscribeRegionInRegion performed on pair of sample regions, shown on the left. Middle image shows inscribed region with inFitType set to FirstFit. Right one corresponds to inFitType equal BestFit.

Remarks

Setting parameter inFitType to BestFit results in much higher computational cost.
