Description

split_contours_xldsplit_contours_xldSplitContoursXldSplitContoursXldSplitContoursXld splits the contours which were used to generate the polygons PolygonsPolygonsPolygonsPolygonspolygons at prominent points. If the mode 'polygon'"polygon""polygon""polygon""polygon" is selected, the contours are split at the polygons' control points. In mode 'dominant'"dominant""dominant""dominant""dominant", they are split at dominant points, i.e., at points for which the calculated change of direction is larger than the (empirically determined) threshold , and for which in the (empirically determined) neighborhood of points no larger change of direction occurs. The contour direction is determined from the direction of the regression line (i.e., the least-squares approximating line) through all points in a neighborhood of SmoothSmoothSmoothSmoothsmooth points around a contour point. The directions thus determined are smoothed with a Gaussian of width SmoothSmoothSmoothSmoothsmooth. WeightWeightWeightWeightweight is a weighting factor for the sensitiveness of the operator. The larger WeightWeightWeightWeightweight is selected, the less dominant points are found.

Each polygon needs a reference to a contour. If the reference is missing, because the polygon is e.g. read from a DXF-File, split_contours_xldsplit_contours_xldSplitContoursXldSplitContoursXldSplitContoursXld returns an error.
