PointsBoundingRectangle

Basic

Module: FoundationLite

Computes the smallest rectangle containing an array of points.

Name Type Description
Input value
 inPoints Point2DArray Input array of points
Input value
 inBoundingRectangleFeature BoundingRectangleFeature Determines what kind of bounding rectangle will be computed
Input value
 inReferenceAngle Real The middle angle of the valid range of the output rectangle's angle
Input value
 inRectangleOrientation RectangleOrientation Orientation of the output rectangle
Output value
 outBoundingRectangle Rectangle2D Smallest bounding rectangle of the input points
Output value

Description

The filter computes a rectangle with the smallest possible selected feature that contains all given points. The angle of the resulting rectangle is then normalized as in the NormalizeRectangleOrientation filter.

Examples

The resulting outBoundingRectangle drawn with the input points and with inRectangleOrientation set on Horizontal
