Clamping

Meshes adds methods to Julia's built-in clamp function. The additional methods clamp points to the edges of a box in any number of dimensions. The target points and boxes must have the same number of dimensions and the same numeric type.

Base.clamp — Method

clamp(point, box)

Clamp the coordinates of a Point to the edges of a Box.

For each dimension, coordinates outside of the box are moved to the nearest edge of the box. The point and box must have an equal number of dimensions.

Base.clamp — Method

clamp(pset, box)

Clamp each point in a PointSet to the edges of a Box, returning a new set of points.

# set of 2D points to clamp
points = PointSet(rand(Point, 100, crs=Cartesian2D))

# 2D box defining the clamping boundaries
box = Box((0.25, 0.25), (0.75, 0.75))

# clamp point coordinates to the box edges
clamped = clamp(points, box)
