AVL.SegmentOrientation

Computes the orientation of a segment.

Namespace:AvlNet
Assembly:AVL.NET.dll

Syntax

C++
C#
 
public static void SegmentOrientation
(
	AvlNet.Segment2D inSegment,
	AvlNet.AngleRange inAngleRange,
	out float outOrientationAngle
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inSegmentAvlNet.Segment2D
inAngleRangeAvlNet.AngleRange_0_180Switches between 0-90, 0-180 or 0-360 degrees. Default value: _0_180.
outOrientationAnglefloat

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

SegmentOrientation performed on a segment with parameters: X1 = 50, Y1 = 50, X2 = 300, Y2 = 300 and inAngleRange set to _0_180.
outOrientationAngle returns 45.
