PLinsertcollinearpoints

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - PL/Point Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.6, Creation date: 2025-09-12, Last change: 2025-09-15

inserts collinear auxiliary points that a minimum point distance is guaranteed


Use carefully: The 'PLinsertcollinearpoints' function has not yet been extensively tested

Description

slightly different to RLaddauxpoints and CPLaddauxpoints
does not create collinear auxiliary points if an edge is missing!
Only if start and end point are the same, the last edge is also processed.
Same as:
PLinsertcollinearpoints == CPLinsertcollinearpoints == CVLinsertcollinearpoints

See Also: RLaddauxpoints , CPLaddauxpoints , VLremsuccident , CPLinsertcollinearpoints , CVLinsertcollinearpoints

Example Illustration

 missing image of PLinsertcollinearpoints(PL,d)

Syntax

PLN=PLinsertcollinearpoints(PL,[d])

Input Parameter

PL: Point list without nan, open or closed
d: maximum point distance to guarantee

Output Parameter

PLN: Point list with collinear auxiliary points, open or closed as PL

Examples


PLinsertcollinearpoints(PLsample(3),1) % open edge, identical point removed
PLinsertcollinearpoints(PLsample(8),1) % closed contour, identical point removed
PLinsertcollinearpoints(VLsample(16),1) % Does work also in 3D
PLinsertcollinearpoints(VLsample(18),1) % Does work also with nan separated contours
