FindCurvePath

FindCurvePath[{{x1,y1},{x2,y2},…}]

gives an ordering of the {xi,yi} that corresponds to one or more smooth curves.

Details

  • 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}.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Randomly select points on a circle:
