Hi everyone, I need some help with the traveling salesman problem. The issue I am having is that the (x, y) points of each city are too close to each other. As such, I get the result in the image below. Is there a way I could “spread the points” while retaining the relative distance? I tried using scale, but it goes out of the window. Thanks!
Welcome to the forums!
Are you saying you already tried using the scale() function? I think this should do the trick.
You can also try to multiply each point’s coordinates by a factor of x, which will preserve the original coordinates. Something like:
int x = 50;
int y = 65;
void draw(){
point(x * 2, y * 2)
}
Either way, this is gonna “move” them away from (0,0), so you’ll want to look into translate() and shift them back into view.
When you get the points by random you can also increase the value in random
Got it. Thank you so much!!
