Closest points to points

Finds the closest target points to source points.

Inputs

• mode

  • Sets the method in which points are found. This can be either closest point or number of points within radius.

• source points

  • The list of source points to find the closest points among the target points.

• target points

  • The list of target points among which the closest points are found from the source points.

• calculate distance

  • Sets whether to calculate the distances between the source points and their nearest target points or not.

• radius

  • The value that defines the size of the radius in which a number of points are found when the mode is set to number of points within radius.

Outputs

• geometry

  • Output primitives.

• points

  • The list of points of the output primitives.

• points.x

  • The list of x values of the points of the output primitives.

• points.y

  • The list of y values of the points of the output primitives.

• points.z

  • The list of z values of the points of the output primitives.

• indices

  • The list of indices of the closest target points.

• distances

  • The distances between the source points and the closest target points.

• number of points within radius

  • The number of target points within the defined radius from each source point when the mode intput is set to number of points within radius.

Note(s)

• Other names for this node include: ClosestPointsToPoints, Nearest, Distance, Radius, and Neighbour.

Example(s)

• Find shortest distance between two polygons
