ray_pathFillGeometricStepwise

Workspace.ray_pathFillGeometricStepwise(self, ray_path: ArrayOfPropagationPathPoint = self.ray_path, surf_field: SurfaceField = self.surf_field, max_stepsize: Numeric = self.max_stepsize) → None

Fill the path with geometric step points.

If two path points are more than max_stepsize apart, additional points are added by propagating one of the points towards the other with a step length of max_stepsize.

This process is repeated until there are no more neighboring points for which the premise is true.
