AVL.ReducePath Method
Reduces the number of points in a path preserving its shape with the specified precision.
Namespace: | AvlNet |
---|---|
Assembly: | AVL.NET.dll |
Syntax
public static void ReducePath( AvlNet.Path inPath, float inMaxDistance, out AvlNet.Path outPath )
Parameters
Name | Type | Range | Default | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
inPath | AvlNet.Path | Input path. | |||
inMaxDistance | float | <0.0f, INF> | 0.5f | Maximum distance between (possibly removed in the process) characteristic point of the input path and the output path. Default value: 0.5f. | |
outPath | AvlNet.Path | Reduced path. |
Description
The operation removes some of the characteristic points of the input path preserving its shape with the selected precision. The algorithm guarantees that each of the removed characteristic points lies within the inMaxDistance distance from the resulting path.
The operation works with open and closed paths as well.
