Regular API function

simRemovePointsFromPointCloud / sim.removePointsFromPointCloud

Description Removes points from a point cloud. When a point cloud doesn't use an OC tree calculation structure, then individual points cannot be removed, only all points can be removed in that case. See also sim.insertPointsIntoPointCloud, sim.setPointCloudOptions and the other point cloud related functions.
C/C++
synopsis
simInt simRemovePointsFromPointCloud(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. Set to nullptr to remove all points
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
