raster tool, add max edge lenght

Post by PablerasBCN »

Hi,

Please add option such as when meshing where max edge lenght is optional.

This way I could get rid of this horrible polygon like color areas when rasterizing with interpolation.

I've added it in the latest 2.12.beta version (it's also possible to set this via the command line).

And I also added the option to the 2.5D Volume calculation tool (but not via the command line for this one).

Thank you so much Daniel,

It's working, but there may be something off.

The magnitude of the "Max edge lenght" parameter may be 1/100 by any chance? or raster space units are non related to work space units?

I was noticing imputing "2" that it was behaving as non interpolated leaving a shitton of gaps, while entering 20 and 200 afterwards, with 200 in particular I was getting same "meshing" as when inputing "2" when generating the 2.5 mesh.

I think it may depends on your grid step? Since with a grid step of 1, most of the triangle will have either edges of length 1 or sqrt(2)...

Anyway, normally the edge length should be expressed in the same units as the grid step or the point coordinates.
