PathBoundingRectangle
Computes the smallest rectangle containing a path.
Syntax
C++
C#
void avl::PathBoundingRectangle ( const avl::Path& inPath, avl::BoundingRectangleFeature::Type inBoundingRectangleFeature, atl::real inReferenceAngle, avl::RectangleOrientation::Type inRectangleOrientation, avl::Rectangle2D& outBoundingRectangle, atl::Optional<avl::Point2D&> outCenter = atl::NIL, atl::Optional<atl::real&> outLongSide = atl::NIL, atl::Optional<atl::real&> outShortSide = atl::NIL )
Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
inPath | const Path& | Input path | |
![]() |
inBoundingRectangleFeature | BoundingRectangleFeature::Type | MinimalArea | Determines what kind of bounding rectangle will be computed |
![]() |
inReferenceAngle | real | 0.0f | The middle angle of the valid range of the output rectangle's angle |
![]() |
inRectangleOrientation | RectangleOrientation::Type | Horizontal | Orientation of the output rectangle |
![]() |
outBoundingRectangle | Rectangle2D& | The smallest bounding rectangle of the input path | |
![]() |
outCenter | Optional<Point2D&> | NIL | Center of the bounding rectangle |
![]() |
outLongSide | Optional<real&> | NIL | Length of the bounding rectangle long side |
![]() |
outShortSide | Optional<real&> | NIL | Length of the bounding rectangle short side |
Description
The filter computes a rectangle with the smallest possible selected feature that contains all points of the given path. The angle of the resulting rectangle is then normalized as in the NormalizeRectangleOrientation filter.
Errors
| Error type | Description |
|---|---|
| DomainError | Empty path on input in PathBoundingRectangle. |
