Polyline.divide_polyline_by_length

Polyline.divide_polyline_by_length(length, strict=True, tol=1e-06)[source]

Splits a polyline in segments of a given length.

Parameters

  • length (float) – Length of the segments.

  • strict (bool, optional) – If False, the remainder segment will be added even if it is smaller than the desired length

  • tol (float, optional) – Floating point error tolerance.

Returns

list[compas.geometry.Point]

Notes

The points of the new polyline are constrained to the segments of the old polyline. However, since the old points are not part of the new set of points, the geometry of the polyline will change.
