A method of grainBoundary.

the characteristic shape of a set of boundary segments; MATLAB’s grainBoundary.characteristicShape

Syntax

cShape = characteristicShape(grains.boundary['Fo', 'Fo'])

Of the boundaries of a phase.

cShape = grains.characteristicShape(nmax=256)

Of the boundary of the grains.

Description

Every segment and its antipode, sorted by direction and laid end to end, close into a convex, centrally symmetric outline whose boundary length in each direction is the boundary length the map has in it. An outline of more than nmax vertices is sampled down to nmax, which keeps its extent.

Input

x grainBoundary, or grain2d for its boundary

Keywords

keyword default description
nmax 1024 the largest number of vertices of the outline

Output

cShape shape2d
