Detailed Description

SegmentChecker takes a bunch of line segments and fully automatically identifies illegal segment intersections. The intersection points can be computed in 2D and in 2.5D. Further this class offers visualization methods. Due to the underlying datastructure the search algorithm scales very well to large inputs.

Polylines: Intersecting segments are automatically found

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SegmentChecker()

GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::SegmentChecker ( const std::vector< Segment2 * > &  vSegments_)
explicit

Internally this constructor prepares a data structure from vSegments that enables efficient spatial searches. The time complexity is O(n*log(n)).

Parameters
vSegments_contains the segments to be checked

Member Function Documentation

◆ clipSegment()

ClipResult GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::clipSegment ( Segment2 seg)

Clip Segment

Use this method to limit the length of a line-segment to its intersection with a box. The result can be the whole segment, a subsegment, a degenerate segment or the result can be empty. In the last case the segment is not changed but the method returns CR_EMPTY.

Parameters
[in,out]segis the line segment to be clipped
Returns
CR_INVALID,CR_EMPTY, CR_CLIPPED_DEGENERATE, CR_CLIPPED_NONDEGENERATE, CR_COMPLETE_DEGENERATE, CR_COMPLETE_NONDEGENERATE or CR_INVALID.
Note
In case that you missed to call setLimit() with a valid bounding box before, the method returns CR_INVALID };

◆ getIllegalSegments()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIllegalSegments ( bool  bAlsoEndPointIntersections,
std::vector< Segment2 * > &  vIllegalSegmentsOut 
) const

Get illegal segments

Returns segments which are involved in intersections. Intersections at endpoints are only reported when bAlsoEndPointIntersections is true. The asymptotic time consumption for the lookup per segment S is O(log(n)+k) where k is the number of segments that intersect the minimal bounding box of S. Thus, for n segments the method takes O(n*(log(n)+k)) time.

Segment intersections: (1) Non-collinear, (2) collinear, (3) duplicate segments, (4) endpoint intersection
Parameters
bAlsoEndPointIntersectionsspecifies if intersections at endpoints shall be detected
[out]vIllegalSegmentsOutis the output vector

◆ getIndex()

int GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIndex ( Segment2 pSeg) const

Returns the index of a segment

Parameters
pSegis the segment whose index is returned

◆ getIntersectionPoint()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIntersectionPoint ( SegmentIntersectionType  sit,
const Segment2 seg0,
const Segment2 seg1,
Point2 ispOut0,
Point2 ispOut1 
) const

Compute the intersection point(s) of two segments.

Use getIntersectionType() to determine the segment intersection type sit before. Call this function only when the intersection type is SIT_POINT or SIT_ENDPOINT.

Parameters
sitis the segment intersection type (SIT_POINT or SIT_ENDPOINT for the present method)
seg0,seg1are the intersecting segments
[out]ispOut0output intersection point at seg0
[out]ispOut1output intersection point at seg1

The resulting two output intersection points ispOut0 and ispOut1 have always the same (x,y) coordinates but possibly different heights z.

Note
pSeg1 and pSeg2 do not need to be from the set of segments that have been used as argument for the constructor of the SegmentChecker. You can use any segments.

◆ getIntersectionSegment()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIntersectionSegment ( const Segment2 seg0,
const Segment2 seg1,
Segment2 issOut0,
Segment2 issOut1 
) const

Compute the intersection segment(s) of two collinear intersecting segments.

Use getIntersectionType() to determine the segment intersection type sit before. Call this function only when the intersection type is SIT_SEGMENT.

Parameters
seg0,seg1are intersecting segments such that their SegmentIntersectionType is SIT_SEGMENT
[out]issOut0intersection segment at seg0
[out]issOut1intersection segment at seg1

The two output segments have always the same (x,y) coordinates but possibly diffent heights z.

Note
pSeg1 and pSeg2 do not need to be from the set of segments that have been used as argument for the constructor of the SegmentChecker. You can use any segments.

◆ getIntersectionType()

SegmentIntersectionType GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIntersectionType ( const Segment2 pSeg1,
const Segment2 pSeg2 
) const

Get the intersection type of two segments

Parameters
pSeg1,pSeg2are the segments to be checked
Returns
SIT_NONE (no intersection),
SIT_SEGMENT (collinear intersection),
SIT_POINT (intersection somewhere between the endpoints) or
SIT_ENDPOINT (endpoint intersection)
Note
pSeg1 and pSeg2 do not need to be from the set that has been used to initialize the present object

◆ getIntersectionTypeString()

static const char* GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIntersectionTypeString ( SegmentIntersectionType  sit)
static

Return the intersection type as a human readable string. This is a convenience function

Parameters
sitis an intersection type to be converted to a string

◆ getIntersectors()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getIntersectors ( Segment2 pTestSegment,
bool  bAlsoEndPointIntersections,
std::vector< std::pair< Segment2 *, SegmentIntersectionType > > &  vIntersectorsOut 
) const

Return segments that intersect a certain segment along with their intersection type

Parameters
pTestSegmentis the segment to be analyzed
bAlsoEndPointIntersectionsspecifies if intersections of type SIT_ENDPOINT shall also be reported.
[out]vIntersectorsOutis the output vector. Segments intersecting pTestSegment are added to vIntersectorsOut along with their intersection type.
Note
When vIntersectorsOut is non-empty, it is not cleared but the intersected segments are added.

The time complexity is O(log(n)+k) where n is the number of segments and k is the number of intersections for pTestSegment.

◆ getLimit()

Bbox2 GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getLimit ( ) const

Get Limit

Returns
the bounding box that has been set before using setLimit()

◆ getNumberOfSegments()

size_t GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getNumberOfSegments ( ) const

Returns the number of segments contained in this SegmentChecker object

◆ getSegment()

Segment2* GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::getSegment ( size_t  i) const

Returns the i-th segment

Parameters
iis the index of the segment to be returned

◆ setLimit()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::setLimit ( const Bbox2 bbx)

Set Limit

Sets the bounding box bbx that is used by clipSegment() to limit the length of a line segment

◆ showIllegalSegments()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::showIllegalSegments ( bool  bAlsoEndPointIntersections,
const char *  name 
) const

Write a postscript file, highlight illegal segments

Parameters
bAlsoEndPointIntersectionsspecifies if intersections at endpoints are also illegal
nameis the output filename
Visualization of polyline intersections

◆ showSegments()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::showSegments ( const char *  name) const

Write all segments, with and without intersection, to a postscript file

Parameters
nameis the output filename
Line segments written to a postscript file

◆ subscribe()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::subscribe ( MsgType  msgType,
MsgBase pMsg 
)

Register a progress bar object

The SegmentChecker does its job typically in fractions of a second. But inputs may contain a quadratic number of intersections and such tasks take a while. Therefore a user defined message object (your own progress-bar class) can be registered in order to get progress updates. This step is optional.

Parameters
msgTypeis the message type. For progress information the type is always MSG_PROGRESS
pMsgis a user defined progress bar which derives from Fade's MsgBase.

◆ unsubscribe()

void GEOM_FADE25D::SegmentChecker::unsubscribe ( MsgType  msgType,
MsgBase pMsg 
)

Unregister a progress bar object

Parameters
msgTypeis the message type. For progress information the type is always MSG_PROGRESS
pMsgis a user defined class which derives from Fade's MsgBase
