int [] pgfind(<geometry>geometry, vector P, float radius, int maxpoints, float divsize)
int [] pgfind(<geometry>geometry, string ptgroup, vector P, float radius, int maxpoints, float divsize)
<geometry>
When running in the context of a node (such as a wrangle SOP), this argument can be an integer representing the input number (starting at 0) to read the geometry from.
Alternatively, the argument can be a string specifying a geometry file (for example, a .bgeo) to read from. When running inside Houdini, this can be an op:/path/to/sop reference.
These functions are very similar to the pcfind functions. The difference is that they use a grid-based acceleration structure. This can provide faster initialization and lookups, provided the right grid size tuning parameter is used.
If you are searching a point cloud using an near-constant search radius, that radius can be used as the division size.
Note
The division size must be not vary per point.
Note
The division size is clamped above 3.0×105.
The ptgroup is a point group that limits the points to search. This is a SOP-style group pattern, so can be something like 0-10 or @Cd.x>0.5. A blank string is treated as matching all points.
