Name
CG_NurbsCurveApproximate — Creates an approximating NURBS curve fitting data points within a tolerance
Synopsis
geometry CG_NurbsCurveApproximate(geometry data_points, integer degree, float8 tolerance, integer max_control_points=100);
Description
Creates a NURBS curve that approximates the given data points within the specified tolerance. Unlike interpolation, the curve does not necessarily pass through all points but provides a smooth fit with fewer control points.
Parameters:
-
data_points- A LINESTRING geometry containing the points to approximate. -
degree- Polynomial degree of the NURBS curve. -
tolerance- Maximum allowed distance between the curve and data points. -
max_control_points- Optional maximum number of control points (default: 100). Limits curve complexity.
Availability: 3.7.0 - requires SFCGAL >= 2.3.0.
Cette méthode nécessite le backend SFCGAL.
Cette fonction prend en charge la 3D et ne supprime pas l'indice z.
