vx_contour

Given a list of points that form a closed area, vx_contour returns the contour which encircles the area.

Since: 2.5

Parameters

• points : A list of [x, y] points.
• sorted : Default to false. If your points is sorted by x y, setting it to true will accelerate the calculation speed.

Examples

use <voxel/vx_ascii.scad>;
use <voxel/vx_contour.scad>;

t = "dotSCAD";

        for(pt = vx_ascii(t[i])) {
            translate(pt)
                square(1, center = true);
        }
}
