Detailed Description

Wrapper for the cpPolyline type.

Method Documentation

- (ChipmunkPolyline *) simplifyCurves: (cpFloat) tolerance

Returns a copy of a polyline simplified by using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm.

This works very well on smooth or gently curved shapes, but not well on straight edged or angular shapes.

- (ChipmunkPolyline *) simplifyVertexes: (cpFloat) tolerance

Returns a copy of a polyline simplified by discarding "flat" vertexes.

This works well on straigt edged or angular shapes, not as well on smooth shapes.

- (ChipmunkPolylineSet *) toConvexHulls_BETA: (cpFloat) tolerance

Generate a set of convex hulls for a polyline.

See the note on cpPolylineConvexDecomposition_BETA() for more information.

- (cpFloat) area

readnonatomicassign

Returns the signed area of the polyline calculated by cpAreaForPoly.

Non-closed polylines return an area of 0.

- (cpVect) centroid

readnonatomicassign

Centroid of the polyline calculated by cpCentroidForPoly.

It is an error to call this on a non-closed polyline.
