Detailed Description

< A tool. Not derived from anything.

use this tool to turn edge strings into lists of straight line segments. Algorithm here is based on the original by Dr xxxx (can fbc provide this reference please?). Implementation by stu. Sun 13 Oct 2002 14:45:26 CEST

Algorithm takes a parameter- anglesigma which is used to determine how the edge strings should be broken into straight line segments. A high value means that only large changes in the angle of an edge string will be encorporated into a single straight line, therefore producing a very approximate set of output lines (blocky). With a lower value the straight lines more closely follow the edge strings and the output will look more like the input. (smoother)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mimas::slap_tool::slap_tool ( void ) [inline]

Default constructor.

Sets a default anglesigma value. NOTE: this value needs to be small otherwise the algorithm fails : as this implementation requires that tan(anglesigma) is : approx= anglesigma
