I recently adapted this function from a Python solution I found on a different platform. Despite the points being evenly spaced, they are not aligned along the center of the line.
The initial point is located at position 0, while the final point is at 83 (with the end of the line segment set at 100).
How can I adjust the alignment of these points to be centered?
To clarify, I want the distance between the first point and 0 to be equivalent to that between the last point and 100.
'use strict';
function generatePoints(count, length) {
const points = []
for (let i = 0; i < count; i++) {
const a = i / count;
const x = a * length;
points.push(Math.round(x));
}
return points;
}
const points = generatePoints(6, 100);
console.log(points);
// [ 0, 17, 33, 50, 67, 83 ]
I attempted the following adjustment without success:
for (let i = 0; i < points.length; i++) {
points[i] += (points[1] / 2);
points[i] = Math.round(points[i]);
}
console.log(points);
// [ 9, 26, 46, 63, 80, 96 ]
After applying this method, the initial point is now 9 units away from 0, but the last point is only 4 units away from 100.
