Q3RationalPoint3D_AffineComb

You can use the Q3RationalPoint3D_AffineComb function to determine the rational three-dimensional point that is the affine combination of an array of points.

TQ3RationalPoint3D *Q3RationalPoint3D_AffineComb (
const TQ3RationalPoint3D *points3D, 
const float *weights, 
unsigned long nPoints, 
TQ3RationalPoint3D *result);

points3D

A pointer to an array of rational three-dimensional points.

weights

A pointer to an array of weights. The sum of the weights must be 1.0.

nPoints

The number of points in the points3D array.

result

On exit, the point that is the affine combination of the points in points3D having the weights in the weights array.

DESCRIPTION

The Q3RationalPoint3D_AffineComb function returns, as its function result and in the result parameter, the rational point that is the affine combination of the points in the array points3D having the weights in the array weights.
