Finds the maximum of the profile of turn angles of a path.
| Name | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
![]()  | 
				inPath | Path | Input path | 
![]()  | 
				inAllowedTurnDirection | TurnAngleDirection | Allows to detect only left-turns, only right-turns or both | 
![]()  | 
				inResultPrecision | TurnAnglePrecision | Switches between pixel-precise or subpixel-precise detection of the found maximum | 
![]()  | 
				outMaximumTurnAngleIndex | Real | Index of found maximum | 
![]()  | 
				outMaximumTurnAnglePoint | Point2D | Found point of a path with maximum turn angle | 
![]()  | 
				outMaximumTurnAngleAngle | Real | Maximal turn angle of the input path | 
Description
The operation computes the profile of turn angles of a path and finds the maximum of the profile. The inAllowedTurnDirection parameter restricts kind of turns taken into consideration (left-turns only, right-turns only or both), while inResultPrecision determines the precision of the resulting maximum point.
Examples
![]()  | 
PathTurnAngleMaximum run on the sample path with inAllowedTurnDirection = Right
