AVL.ConvertToEquidistantPath Method

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

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inPath	AvlNet.Path			Input path.
inStep	float	<0.0f, INF>	1.0f	Requested distance between consecutive points. Default value: 1.0f.
inEquidistanceType	AvlNet.EquidistanceType			Defines how the distance is measured.
outPath	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.
