PLConsol() — polylist consolidator 💅

okay so you're on the plconsol(3gv) page, and this is the whole vibe: PLConsol() is here to consolidate a polylist. That's it. That's the girl. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Geom *PLConsol(Geom *g, float prec);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

PLConsol() is a function that takes a geom — and bestie, that geom must be a polylist — as its argument, and returns a version of the polylist that has no repeated vertices. periodt.

Two vertices are considered to be identical if they are within prec of one another. The comparison takes into account only the location of the points, not their normals or colors. so don't come for the normals, they're not part of the vibe check. 💅

The vertices of the resultant polyline have been sorted, and so their order bears no resemblance to the order of the point in the original polylist. it's giving "shuffled by the algorithm, not by the original lineup" — lowkey important. 🌀
