SelectOuterPaths


Selects paths which do not obstruct visibility of other paths from a point.

Name Type Range Description
inPaths PathArray Input paths from which the outer ones will be selected
inCenterPoint Point2D Reference point used to determine path visibility
inTolerance Real 0.0 - 1.0 Fraction of the path sections that are allowed to obstruct visibility of other paths not rendering the path not-outer
outOuterPaths PathArray Paths classified as outer

Description

The operation select those paths from the inPaths array that do not obstruct the visibility of any other path. Visibility of a characteristic point is obstructed by a path iff the segment connecting this point to inCenterPoint intersect the path.

Examples

Description of usage of this filter can be found in examples and tutorial: Capsules, Mounts (Contour Analysis), Mounts (Segmentation).

SelectOuterPaths run on the sample data with inTolerance = 0.0.

Complexity Level
