ShapeEllipticAxes
Computes axes of an ellipse having the same first and second order moments as the given shape.
Syntax
C++
C#
void avl::ShapeEllipticAxes ( const avl::Path& inShape, avl::Segment2D& outMajorAxis, avl::Segment2D& outMinorAxis )
Parameters
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.
