Application of the double-segment approach to the isosurfaces from Fig. 6 . The filled green–orange (green–red) points are used to calculate the slope for the part of below (above) the diagonal line. The found tangent points are shown by open black circles. When the part of has a concave–convex mixed curvature, it possesses multiple tangent points for a given slope [cf. (a) and (b)] and equation (14) is capable of exploring all points in a single analysis. In the case of multiple tangent points, all points are used to define inner and outer boundaries. |
