FindCurvePath

FindCurvePath[{{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}, ...}]
gives an ordering of the {xi, yi} that corresponds to one or more smooth curves.
  • FindCurvePath attempts to reconstruct smooth curves defined by sets of points.
  • FindCurvePath gives a list of one or more connected curves, each specified by a disjoint subset of the {xi, yi}.
