SegmentNormalVector


Module: FoundationLite

Computes an unitary vector perpendicular to the segment.

Name Type Description
inSegment Segment2D
inReverse Bool
outNormalVector Vector2D

Description

Note that because of inaccuracies of floating-point arithmetic, some geometric operations (including this one) may lead to unpredictable results for degenerated cases. In this filter such a case occurs when an empty segment is given on input.

Examples

SegmentNormalVector performed on a segment with parameters: X1 = 50, Y1 = 50, X2 = 300, Y2 = 300.
outNormalVector result shown on the right picture.
