PolygonCreateUniformThickLine
Returns a new polygon by creating the outline of a given series of points with a uniform thickness.
This function is intended to be used with the DriveWorks 3D Extrusion
entity.
Syntax
PolygonCreateUniformThickLine(Points,Thickness,[Segments],[End Cap
Segments])
Where:
Points: The points to create a line around.
Thickness: The thickness of the line in millimeters.
- Single numeric value - Creates a consistent thickness for each line in the array.
- Pipe-delimited list - Controls the thickness for each line in the array.
Segments (Optional): The number of segments at the junctions of the line.
- 0 - Standard join.
There is a limit to how far away the generated point can be from the line before a value of 1 is used instead.
| Before | After |
|---|
 |  |
- 1 - Extended join.
- Single numeric value - The number of segments to use at every junction of the line.
- Pipe-delimited list - Controls the number of segments at each junction of the line
independently.
End Cap Segments (Optional): The number of segments at the end of the line.
0 - No end Cap.1 - Default end CapSingle numeric value - The number of segments to use at both ends of the line.Pipe-delimited pair of values - Controls the number of segments at each end of the line
independently.
