ProfileVectorImage polygon operation

ReignBough — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 11:37:02 GMT

Is there an intersection (and other polygon) operation for ProfileVectorImage? Currently I am using:

try { pvi.GetVectorImage().Strip(cutPoly, &vi); }
catch (const GS::Exception& e) { WriteReport("%s", e.GetMessage().ToCStr().Get()); };
vi.CheckAndRepair();

pvi is the source ProfileVectorImage;
vi is the output VectorImage;
cutPoly is the IrregularPolygon2D that counts as a cutter;

But it sometimes crashes.

Have you tried to copy the source?

VectorImage vecIm = pvi.GetVectorImage ();
vecIm.Strip (cutPoly, &vi);

If it still crashes, could you please write it to an XML file, and send me that?

Thanks, Akos

That was the original code but it also crashes. Then I made some changes (not only on that part but also on some other part of the code) and still crashes.

Now, I changed that part back to what you suggest. Now it is working.

Thanks.

BTW, is there a "Strip" function for ProfileVectorImage ?
