PLofCPLequidistant

by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - PL/Point Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.2, Creation date: 2022-03-20, Last change: 2025-09-15

returns points on closed or open contours with equal distances

Description

IN contrast to PLaddauxpoints, this function does not return a fitting contour but only a unsorted points list.
Be careful with holes that also generate points

See Also: CPLlength , PLaddauxpoints

Example Illustration

Syntax

PLN=PLofCPLequidistant(CPL,[nr,isc])

Input Parameter

`CPL`:		SINGLE CLOSED CONTOUR
`nr`:		bumber of points; default is 4; negative number means minimal distance
`isc`:		false= open CPL; true=closed CPL; default is true

Output Parameter

PLN: POINT LIST on Contour with equal distances

Examples


PLofCPLequidistant(PLsquare(2,7),4)
PLofCPLequidistant(CPLsample(18),8)         
PLofCPLequidistant(PLsquare(2,7),40,true)   % Closed contour by default
PLofCPLequidistant(PLsquare(2,7),40,false)  % Open contour
PLofCPLequidistant([-10 0;20 0],1,false)    % 1 Point    
PLofCPLequidistant([-10 0;20 0],2,false)    % Two points
PLofCPLequidistant([-10 0;20 0],3,false)    % 3 Points
PLofCPLequidistant([-10 0;20 0],-3,false)   % Distance 3
PLofCPLequidistant(CPLsample(29),4,true)    % multi region CPLs - numbers
PLofCPLequidistant(CPLsample(29),-4,true)   % multi region CPLs - distance
