points

Point clouds: discs, poisson sets, points on a surface, a curve or a mesh's vertices, and the ops that relax them and look around them.

The definitions live in proc.ops.points; this pack is what puts them in the op registry, so procgen.searchNodes("", { pack = "points" }) lists the family and procgen.describeNode("op.<id>") describes any one of them.

Ops

• points.disc — Points scattered in a disc on the XZ plane (optionally domed into a mound)
• points.poisson — Even (blue-noise) points in a disc, no two closer than minDist
• points.on_surface — Scatter points uniformly over a Geometry's surface (area-weighted, deterministic)
• points.from_vertices — A point at each of a Geometry's points (carrying the normal attribute)
• points.on_curve — Points evenly spaced along every curve of a geometry by arc length
• points.relax — Even out a point cloud's spacing via repulsion relaxation
• points.neighbors — What stands around each point, within a radius and optionally a cone: neighbour count, nearest distance, centroid, and the neighbours' mean of an attribute
• points.count_neighbors — Count each point's occupied lattice neighbours (from an integer grid-coord attribute) into an Int attribute — the shell/erosion/flood/tiling primitive

points.grid, points.box and points.filter are nodes of the points nodebox (g.points.grid, g.points.box, g.points.filter).
