Smooths a path by averaging its characteristic points within a kernel.
| Name | Type | Range | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
inPath | Path | Input path | |
|
inKernelRadius | Integer | 0 -  |
|
 |
outPath | Path | Output path | |
Description
The operation replaces each characteristic point of the path with the local average, thus smoothing its shape. The local average is computed as a simple arithmetic mean of the consecutive 2*inKernelRadius + 1 characteristic points.
Examples
 A sample path |
 |
 |
SmoothPath_Mean run on the sample path with inKernelRadius = 1. |
SmoothPath_Mean run on the sample path with inKernelRadius = 3. |
