Surface32.merge

giant.ray_tracer.shapes.surface:

Surface32.merge(self, other, compute_bounding_box=True, compute_reference_ellipsoid=True)

This method is used to merge two surface collections together. It only works if the two surfaces are the same

This method returns a new object, it does not do an in-place merge.

Parameters:

  • other (RawSurface) – The other surface to be merged with this one

  • compute_bounding_box (bool) – A flag specifying whether to compute the bounding box for the merged shape

  • compute_reference_ellipsoid (bool) – A flag specifying whether to compute the reference ellipsoid for the merged shape

Returns:

A new surface resulting from combining self with other

Return type:

RawSurface

Raises:

ValueError – If the surface types are not the same
