PathToPointDistanceProfile

Header:	AVL.h
Namespace:	avl
Module:	FoundationBasic

Computes the profile of distances between the specified point and the characteristic points of a path.

Syntax

void avl::PathToPointDistanceProfile
(
	const avl::Point2D& inPoint,
	const avl::Path& inPath,
	float inResolution,
	avl::Profile& outDistanceProfile,
	atl::Optional<atl::Array<float>&> outDistances = atl::NIL,
	atl::Optional<atl::Array<avl::Segment2D>&> outConnectingSegments = atl::NIL
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inPoint	const Point2D&			Input point
inPath	const Path&			Input path
inResolution	float	0.0 -	1.0f
outDistanceProfile	Profile&			Profile of distances between input point and consecutive points of input path
outDistances	Optional<Array<float>&>		NIL	Distances between input point and consecutive points of input path
outConnectingSegments	Optional<Array<Segment2D>&>		NIL	Segments connecting input point and consecutive points of input path

Optional Outputs

The computation of following outputs can be switched off by passing value atl::NIL to these parameters: outDistances, outConnectingSegments.

Description

The operation iterates over characteristic points of inPath and at each point computes the distance from this point to inPoint. The operation computes outDistanceProfile profile of consecutive distances and, additionally, the outConnectingSegments array of corresponding line segments.

Examples

The resulting outConnectingSegments drawn onto the input data.
