set the function samplePoints not random

[ZilongS]

Hello, Daniel,

I am using the compiled version of CloudCompare, and I am trying to sample points from a mesh with the function cloud = ccmesh->samplePoints(true, 4.0, true, false, false, nullptr); however, with the same mesh (.stl) and the same parameters, each time the resulted point cloud is not the same, for the sake of repeatability, is there a way to set this function not 'random'?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Sincerely

Zilong

Not in the current version.

You'll have to patch the method so that it can accept an optional seed, or simply hardcode it (by setting the seed to 0 for instance in the construction of the 'gen' member: https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCo ... s.cpp#L325).
