API Reference > geometry-core > Curve > PointString3d PointString3d Class A PointString3d is an array of points. PointString3D is first class (persistible, displayable) geometry derived from the GeometryQuery base class. The various points in the PointString3d are NOT connected by line segments for display or other calculations. Extends GeometryQuery Implements BeJSONFunctions Methods Name Description addPoint(point: Point3d): void Add a single point to the PointString3d addPoints(...points: any[]): void Add multiple points to the PointString3d clear(): void Reduce to empty set of points. clone(): PointString3d Return a deep clone. cloneTransformed(transform: Transform): PointString3d Clone and apply a transform. closestPoint(spacePoint: Point3d): { index: number, xyz: Point3d } Return the index and coordinates of the closest point to spacepoint. dispatchToGeometryHandler(handler: GeometryHandler): any Second step of double dispatch: call handler.handlePointString(this) extendRange(rangeToExtend: Range3d, transform?: Transform): void Extend a range to include the points in this PointString3d. isAlmostEqual(other: GeometryQuery): boolean Return true if corresponding points are almost equal. isInPlane(plane: Plane3dByOriginAndUnitNormal): boolean Return true if all points are in the given plane. isSameGeometryClass(other: GeometryQuery): boolean Test if other is a PointString3d numPoints(): number Return the number of points. pointAt(i: number, result?: Point3d): Point3d | undefined Access a single point by index. popPoint(): void Remove the last point added to the PointString3d reverseInPlace(): void Reverse the point order setFrom(other: PointString3d): void Replace this PointString3d's point array by a clone of the array in other setFromJSON(json?: any): void Replace this instance's points by those from a json array, e.g. toJSON(): any Convert an PointString3d to a JSON object. tryTransformInPlace(transform: Transform): boolean Return the number of points. create(...points: any[]): PointString3d Static Create a PointString3d from points. createFloat64Array(xyzData: Float64Array): PointString3d Static Create a PointString3d from xyz coordinates packed in a Float64Array createPoints(points: Point3d[]): PointString3d Static Create from an array of Point3d fromJSON(json?: any): PointString3d Static Create a PointString3d from a json array, e.g. Inherited methods Name Inherited from Description range(transform?: Transform, result?: Range3d): Range3d GeometryQuery return the range of the entire (tree) GeometryQuery tryTranslateInPlace(dx: number, dy: number = 0, dz: number = 0): boolean GeometryQuery try to move the geometry by dx,dy,dz Properties Name Type Description geometryCategory "pointCollection" = "pointCollection" String name for schema properties points Accessor ReadOnly Point3d[] return a clone of the points array. Inherited properties Name Type Inherited from Description children Accessor ReadOnly GeometryQuery[] | undefined GeometryQuery return GeometryQuery children for recursive queries.* leaf classes do not need to implement.
