Regular API function

simIntersectPointsWithPointCloud / sim.intersectPointsWithPointCloud

Description Removes points from a point cloud, that do not intersect with the provided points (i.e. the result in the point cloud will be the intersection between the two sets of points). When a point cloud doesn't use an OC tree calculation structure, then this operation cannot be performed. See also sim.insertPointsIntoPointCloud, sim.setPointCloudOptions and the other point cloud related functions.
C/C++
synopsis
simInt simIntersectPointsWithPointCloud(simInt pointCloudHandle,simInt options,const simFloat* pts,simInt ptCnt,simFloat tolerance,simVoid* reserved)
C/C++
parameters
pointCloudHandle: the handle of the point cloud. See also sim.getObject
options: bit-coded:
bit0 set (1): specified points are relative to the point cloud reference frame, otherwise they are relative to the world reference frame
pts: a pointer to the point positions specified as X/Y/Z coordinates.
ptCnt: the number of point coordinates contained in pts
tolerance: a distance used as a tolerance value
reserved: reserved for future extensions. Set to nullptr
C/C++
return value
-1 if operation was not successful, otherwise the total number of points in the point cloud
