A structure packaging the result of an outline.

Used in:

PK_BODY_make_persp_outline_r_t

The structure has the following fields:

'n_curves'                  The number of curves in the outline.

'curves'                    An array of length 'n_curves', each element holding
                            information of an outline curve.

'intervals'                 An array of length 'n_curves', each element holding
                            information of the interval corresponding to an
                            outline curve.

'tolerances'                An array of length 'n_curves', each element holding
                            information of the tolerance corresponding to an
                            outline curve.

'n_large_separations'       The number of large separations.

'large_separations'         The separations between neighbouring curves that
                            exceed the operation tolerance.

'large_separation_indices'  The indices into the 'curves' array of the curves
                            which have large separations at their starting
                            positions.

The separation of a projected outline curve is the distance between the end of
the previous curve and the start of the curve. If the value of 'project' is
set to PK_outline_project_no_c, 'n_large_separations' will be zero and no
separations will be returned.
