AVL.PointsBoundingRectangle Method

Computes the smallest rectangle containing an array of points.

Namespace:	AvlNet
Assembly:	AVL.NET.dll

Syntax

public static void PointsBoundingRectangle(
	AvlNet.Point2D[] inPoints,
	AvlNet.BoundingRectangleFeature inBoundingRectangleFeature,
	float inReferenceAngle,
	AvlNet.RectangleOrientation inRectangleOrientation,
	out AvlNet.Rectangle2D outBoundingRectangle,
	out AvlNet.Point2D outCenter,
	out float outLongSide,
	out float outShortSide
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
inPoints	AvlNet.Point2D		Input array of points.
inBoundingRectangleFeature	AvlNet.BoundingRectangleFeature	MinimalArea	Determines what kind of bounding rectangle will be computed. Default value: MinimalArea.
inReferenceAngle	float	0.0f	The middle angle of the valid range of the output rectangle's angle. Default value: 0.0f.
inRectangleOrientation	AvlNet.RectangleOrientation	Horizontal	Orientation of the output rectangle. Default value: Horizontal.
outBoundingRectangle	AvlNet.Rectangle2D		Smallest bounding rectangle of the input points.
outCenter	AvlNet.Point2D		Center of the bounding rectangle
outLongSide	float		Length of the bounding rectangle long side
outShortSide	float		Length of the bounding rectangle short side

Description

The filter computes a rectangle with the smallest possible selected feature that contains all given points. The angle of the resulting rectangle is then normalized as in the NormalizeRectangleOrientation filter.

Examples

The resulting outBoundingRectangle drawn with the input points and with inRectangleOrientation set on Horizontal
