ApproximatePolygon

Approximate a contour to a simplified polygon (using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm).

Syntax

Definition:

HRESULT ApproximatePolygon(
    HRESULT          hrPrev,
    ITcVnContainer*  ipSrcContour,
    ITcVnContainer*& ipDestContour,
    double           fMaxDist,
    bool             bClosed
)

Parameters

Name

Type

Description

hrPrev

HRESULT

HRESULT indicating the result of previous operations (If SUCCEEDED(hrPrev) equals false, no operation is executed.)

ipSrcContour

ITcVnContainer*

Single contour (ContainerType_Vector_TcVnPoint2_DINT or ContainerType_Vector_TcVnPoint2_REAL; The elements of this container are the points of the contour.)

ipDestContour

ITcVnContainer*&

Returns a container which is filled with the approximated polygon points (same type ID as ipSrcContour; Non-zero interface pointers are reused.)

fMaxDist

double

Maximum distance between the original contour and its approximation

bClosed

bool

Specify, if the contour is closed (first and last points connected) or not
