test_self_intersection_xld
— Test XLD contours or polygons for self intersection.
test_self_intersection_xld(XLD : : CloseXLD : DoesIntersect)
test_self_intersection_xld
tests whether the input contours
or polygons in XLD
intersect or touch themselves. The output array
DoesIntersect
contains a 1 if the corresponding
input contour or polygon intersects or touches itself and 0
otherwise.
If the input parameter CloseXLD
is set to 'true' ,
open contours or polygons are closed before the check is performed
by simply connecting the first and the last contour or polygon point
with a line segment.
A contour or polygon touches itself if a contour or polygon point lies exactly on a contour or polygon segment. However, whether a point lies exactly on a contour or polygon segment or not can practically not be decided because of numerical reasons.
XLD
(input_object) xld(-array) →
object
Input contours or polygons.
CloseXLD
(input_control) string →
(string)
Should the input contours or polygons be closed first?
Default: 'true'
List of values: 'false' , 'true'
DoesIntersect
(output_control) number(-array) →
(integer)
1 for contours or polygons with self intersection and 0 otherwise.
