FIL.SegmentNormalVector

Computes an unitary vector perpendicular to the segment.

Namespace:FilNet
Assembly:FIL.NET.dll

Syntax

C++
C#
 
public static void SegmentNormalVector
(
	FilNet.Segment2D inSegment,
	bool inReverse,
	out FilNet.Vector2D outNormalVector
)

Parameters

Name Type Range Default Description
inSegmentFilNet.Segment2D
inReverseboolTrueDefault value: True.
outNormalVectorFilNet.Vector2D

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

SegmentNormalVector performed on a segment with parameters: X1 = 50, Y1 = 50, X2 = 300, Y2 = 300.
outNormalVector result shown on the right picture.
