Topic: Question on theory about outlining routine

[T.Willey]

I was doing so research today, and it seems that they way to go is with a plane ( or line ) sweep algorithm.  Is this a good route to take?

Another one I saw, but haven't done the research yet, is the Bentley-Ottmana line segment intersection algorithm.

Just looking for a good point in the right direction.  I think this might be my next thing to tackle, and don't want to stray too far from a good path.  I'm just looking for ideas and recommendations on theories to investigate.

Thanks in advance.  Off to see about the B-O intersection algo. now.

Hi Tim,

Is this your try to write your own bpoly?.... or ?

Hi Tim,

Is this your try to write your own bpoly?.... or ?

Yup Luis.  We get some drawings that would benefit from it, and the bpoly command doesn't work too well on them, so I figured it would be a good project to work on when I get some time.

Hi Tim,

I have no idea of those two algorithms, have seen them before in the past, but that's it.

Good luck.

and Tim, in the worst case scenario... end up hard to write one (hope not - you are very smart), there is this, that I wrote:

And can be use also from C# or the previous version of GbPoly too.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Luis, and the code.  I think I might use it as a guide when I get stuck, and read it before hand to get a good understanding of what I'm doing.  Real works has been dropped into my lap, so my research has to stop for now.  I'll keep this thread update with my progress.  Should be fun.  I'm looking forward to the challenge.
