Creation method
There are two options for creating the Closest Points node.
- The first way to create the Closest Points node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in
the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
- closestPts, nearestPts, closestPoints
- The second way is to select the Project Points node from the menu that opens from the top left.
- Menu > Tool > Vector > Closest Points
Steps
- Create the Closest Points node.
- Connect the list of points for the search to the first port.
- Connect the point for the search to the second port.
- Connect the number of the closest points to find to the third port.
After creating a node, connect the list of points for the search to the first port. Connect the point to search from to the second port, and the number of the closest points to find to the third port. On the output ports, we will get a result points in the list closest to a given point, the index of the closest points, and the distance between the given point and the closest points.
