convert Polygon to rects - Code or Algorithm

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hello Allll, I need a script for converting POLYGON to Rects. I already have a script which converts rect/polygons to path in layout. But this works for only few sets of polygons only (simple polygons-non branched). The code I need now is where the input will be the id of a polygon and the o/p should be rects Ex i/p to proc - cvid~>objType - "polygon" cvid~>points or the cvid itself. o/p from proc - list of rects (bBox's) i.e list(bBox bBox1...) Please give a code or an Alogrithm that works. Thanks & Best Regards, Sathya.

    I've attached a picture. By orthogonal I mean that all the angles are multiples of 90 degrees. As you can see in this example, some of the angles are not 90 degrees, and so those parts have been tiled into trapezoids rather than rectangles (well, a rectangle is a trapezoid, but you know what I mean).

    If your shapes only have 90 degree multiples in the angles, you'll get rectangles out.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
