ShapeEllipticAxes

Header:	FIL.h
Namespace:	fil

Computes axes of an ellipse having the same first and second order moments as the given shape.

Syntax

void fil::ShapeEllipticAxes
(
	const fil::Path& inShape,
	fil::Segment2D& outMajorAxis,
	fil::Segment2D& outMinorAxis
)

Parameters

	Name	Type	Default	Description
	inShape	const Path&
	outMajorAxis	Segment2D&
	outMinorAxis	Segment2D&

Description

The orientations of the resulting axes are always between 0 and 180 degrees.

Note that if the input path is not a valid shape (i.e. it has at least one self-intersection), the computation may lead to results that are not intuitive.
