MLModule

genre	CSOModule

Purpose

Computes the difference between pairs of CSOs as open CSOs.

Usage

Connect a CSOList and press Update. The result is in outCSOList. This is a CSOAlgorithmModule, so it is not possible to modify the input CSOs.

Details

This module does the following:

1. for cso in inCSOList1:
2. for refCSO in inCSOList0:
3. Compute diffCSO containing points that are on cso but not on refCSO (might be several if they are not contiguous)

The typical use case of this module is that inCSOList0 contains CSOs before an interaction and inCSOList1 after an interaction. The module will then create CSOs that represent the interaction. Unlike the result of CSOBoolOp these CSOs are open and contain only the part that was changed.
