AVL.ConvertToEquidistantPath(AvlNet.Path, float, AvlNet.EquidistanceType, AvlNet.Path)

Creates a new path whose characteristic points lie on the input path, but are equally spaced.

Namespace:	AvlNet
Assembly:	AVL.NET.dll

Syntax


public static void ConvertToEquidistantPath(
	AvlNet.Path inPath,
	float inStep,
	AvlNet.EquidistanceType inEquidistanceType,
	out AvlNet.Path outPath
)

Parameters

inPath: Type: AvlNet.Path
Input path
inStep: Type: System.Single
Requested distance between consecutive points
inEquidistanceType: Type: AvlNet.EquidistanceType
Defines how the distance is measured
outPath: Type: AvlNet.Path
Output path

Description

The operation follows a path from its beginning to the end, reselecting its characteristic points every inStep pixels. Note that this operation can significantly change the shape of a path, especially when the inStep value is relatively big.

To reduce the number of points in a path preserving its shape, one can use ReducePath filter.

Examples

ConvertToEquidistantPath run on the sample path with inStep = 10 and inEquidistanceType = OutputPathEquidistance.

ConvertToEquidistantPath run on the sample path with inStep = 100 and inEquidistanceType = OutputPathEquidistance.
