size_t

MKI_CUBIC_BEZIER::FlatConstantLength(

 double f_dLength,

 const size_t f_unLineMax,

 MKI_POINT_PTR f_pResult ) const;

Converts the cubic Bézier curve into a polyline with the given partial line length, but never more than LineMax segments.

Parameters

Length

[double] Desired average length of the line segments, must be positive. The length is only roughly approximated! The higher LineMax is, the more accurate the length will be approximated.

LineMax

[const size_t] Maximum number of line segments to create. Useful range: 1 <= LineMax <= 1000.

Result

[MKI_POINT_PTR] Address of point buffer to receive the calculated polyline. Allow at least LineMax+1 points.

Return Value

Returns the number of line segments created, at most LineMax.
