Creating a tin within a certain threshold error

Opened this issue · 5 comments

I was wondering if you are considering the possibility of having some threshold error parameter so that the insertion of points would occur until a certain threshold error has been achieved. Thanks

Not really, but the good news is that it's pretty easy for you to code it externally:

  1. insert the point
  2. check the metrics you want in the TIN
  3. if not happy, use remove() and continue (that's why I implemented a remove function)

But if you give some examples of thresholds, you mean like simplification of a terrain? Like Section 7.3 of the terrainbook?

I'll leave this issue open as I might at some point implement it, but it's not a top priority I'm afraid.
