NAME
PLConsol() - polylist consolidator.
SYNOPSIS
Geom *PLConsol(Geom *g, float prec);
DESCRIPTION
PLConsol() is a function which takes a geom, which must be a
polylist, as its argument and returns a version of the
polylist which has no repeated vertices. Two vertices are
considered to be identical if they are within prec of one
another. The comparison takes into account only the
location of the points, not their normals or colors.
The vertices of the resultant polyline have been sorted, and
so there order bears no resemblance to the order of the
point in the original polylist.
LINKING
PLConsol() is part of the geomutil library; see geomutil(3)
