Hello,
I understand mine is more of a mathematical question.
I'm doing a project where I need to find the cross sectional area of a solid imported from an STL file.
I'm programming this and I'm having some trouble with the algorithm.
I've been following the "
detailed description of geometry processing" of the RepRap host software and at this point I can calculate the intersection of the solid with an horizontal plane.
This puts me in the end of the
slicing step. I have several lines defining a 2D polygon of my cross section.
Now I want to do the end matching of this lines as you describe in the
end matching process.
However I don't quite understand how to compute this.
I tried to look for these routines in the source code in the provided
link, but unfortunately i couldn't find them.
Could you please tell me what functions are you using to do the end-matching and/or point me to the place in the code where they are being used?
Thank you for your attention.
