Number of neighbors

[westergu]

Hi,
I don't know if this topic has been discussed previously, but I have a question about the tool Geometric features|Number of neighbors. It seems that the algorithm never outputs value 0 in the scalar field. In cases where the search distance is less than the distance to the closest points, one would assume that that particular point would have no neighbor. Or Is it so that every point include itself as a neighbor? Or have I understand the algorithm completely wrong?

Best regards,
Gustav

Hi,

Yes, you are correct, the 'number of neighbors' includes the point itself (since it's used to compute local density, a value of '0' would be weird).
