In fmesher: Triangle Meshes and Related Geometry Tools

Split lines at triangle edges

Description

Compute intersections between line segments and triangle edges, and filter out segment of length zero.

Usage

fm_split_lines(mesh, ...)

## S3 method for class 'fm_mesh_2d'
fm_split_lines(mesh, segm, ...)

Arguments

mesh	An fm_mesh_2d object
...	Unused.
segm	An fm_segm() object with segments to be split

Value

An fm_segm() object with the same crs as the mesh, with an added field origin, that for each new segment gives the originator index into to original segm object for each new line segment.

Examples

mesh <- fm_mesh_2d(
  boundary = fm_segm(
    rbind(c(0, 0), c(1, 0), c(1, 1), c(0, 1)),
    is.bnd = TRUE
  )
)
splitter <- fm_segm(rbind(c(0.8, 0.2), c(0.2, 0.8)))
segm_split <- fm_split_lines(mesh, splitter)

plot(mesh)
