pub fn middle_path(
model: &mut Model,
solid: &Shape,
start: &Shape,
end: &Shape,
tolerance: f64,
tol: Tolerances,
) -> OgeomResult<MiddlePath>Expand description
The centre line of a pipe-like solid, from its face start to its
face end.
Each point of the path is the centroid of the solid’s section by a
plane square to the path there. The path starts at the centroid of
start and ends at the centroid of end, and it is a straight edge
where every station lies on one line and a fitted spline otherwise.
tolerance bounds the reported deviation; the solid is meshed at a
quarter of it.
§Errors
OgeomError::Construction if
solid is not a solid, either face is not one of its faces, the two
faces are the same, the tolerance is not a positive distance, or the
mesh does not close. OgeomError::NotDone
if a section square to the march finds no material (the solid is not
pipe-like between the faces), the march never reaches end, or the
deviation stays over the tolerance after every refinement.
