FIL.ConvertToEquidistantPath

Creates a new path whose characteristic points lie on the input path, but are equally spaced.

Namespace:FilNet
Assembly:FIL.NET.dll

Syntax

C++
C#
 
public static void ConvertToEquidistantPath
(
	FilNet.Path inPath,
	float inStep,
	FilNet.EquidistanceType inEquidistanceType,
	FilNet.Path outPath
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inPathFilNet.PathInput path.
inStepfloat<0.0f, INF>1.0fRequested distance between consecutive points. Default value: 1.0f.
inEquidistanceTypeFilNet.EquidistanceTypeDefines how the distance is measured.
outPathFilNet.PathOutput path.

Description

The operation follows a path from its beginning to the end, reselecting its characteristic points every inStep pixels. Note that this operation can significantly change the shape of a path, especially when the inStep value is relatively big. The output path's last point is mostly not the same as the input path's last point, because it would lead to last output path's segment being too short.

To reduce the number of points in a path preserving its shape, one can use ReducePath filter.

Examples

ConvertToEquidistantPath run on the sample path with inStep = 10 and inEquidistanceType = OutputPathEquidistance.

ConvertToEquidistantPath run on the sample path with inStep = 100 and inEquidistanceType = OutputPathEquidistance.
