Utilities Module#
- union_geometries(*objects) Polygon[source]
Compute the union of multiple geometric objects.
- Parameters:
objects (shapely.geometry or object) – A variable number of shapely geometric objects or objects with a ‘_shapely_object’ attribute.
- Returns:
A Polygon containing the union of all provided objects.
- Return type:
ff.Polygon
The union_geometries function computes the union of multiple geometric objects. This is essential for merging fiber structures and visualizing combined geometries.
- nearest_points_exterior(object0, object1) Point[source]
Find the nearest points between the exteriors of two geometric objects.
- Parameters:
object0 (shapely.geometry or object) – The first geometric object or an object with a ‘_shapely_object’ attribute.
object1 (shapely.geometry or object) – The second geometric object or an object with a ‘_shapely_object’ attribute.
- Returns:
A Point containing the coordinates of the nearest point on the first object to the second.
- Return type:
ff.Point
The nearest_points_exterior function finds the closest points between two geometric objects, aiding in aligning and connecting fibers within the structure.
- intersection_geometries(*objects) Polygon[source]
Compute the intersection of multiple geometric objects.
- Parameters:
objects (shapely.geometry or object) – A variable number of shapely geometric objects or objects with a ‘_shapely_object’ attribute.
- Returns:
A Polygon containing the intersection of all provided objects.
- Return type:
ff.Polygon
The intersection_geometries function computes the intersection of multiple geometric objects, which is useful for identifying overlap regions and managing fiber fusion scenarios.
