VS:ConvertToArcPolyline

.VectorScript|VectorScript ..VS:Function Reference|Function Reference ..VS:Function_Reference_Appendix|Appendix

Description

Convert, within a tolerance, the input polyline into an polyline that uses arcs for the curves.

FUNCTION ConvertToArcPolyline(
                hPolygon   :HANDLE;
                dFuzz      :REAL) : HANDLE;

def vs.ConvertToArcPolyline(hPolygon, dFuzz):
    return HANDLE

Parameters

hPolygon		HANDLE
dFuzz		REAL

Remarks

(_c_, 2022.02.02) This routine must be updated, it still doesn't recognize Radius vertexes.

As of VW 2022 the routine behaves on vertexes as such:

• corner: preserved
• arc: preserved only on dFuzz = 0, otherwise they turn into corner, which is truly strange, since the purpose IS to create arc vertexes
• radius: ignored, turn into corner
• cubic: turn into arc
• bezier: turn into arc

Example

VectorScript

PROCEDURE Test;
VAR
	polyObj, newPolyObj : HANDLE;
	
BEGIN
    { select a polyline }
    polyObj := FSActLayer;
    IF polyObj <> NIL THEN BEGIN
        newPolyObj := ConvertToArcPolyline(polyObj, 0);
        SetDSelect(polyObj);
    END;
END;
Run(Test);

Python

# select a polyline
polyObj = vs.FSActLayer()
if polyObj != vs.Handle( 0 ):
	newPolyObj = vs.ConvertToArcPolyline(polyObj, 0)
	vs.SetDSelect(polyObj)
