ShapeEllipticAxes


Computes axes of an ellipse having the same first and second order moments as the given shape.

Name Type Description
inShape Path
outMajorAxis Segment2D
outMinorAxis Segment2D

Description

The orientations of the resulting axes are always between 0 and 180 degrees.

Note that if the input path is not a valid shape (i.e. it has at least one self-intersection), the computation may lead to results that are not intuitive.
