connecting points search radius

[Noobini]

righto, what am i missing here...Pythagoras told me 2000 years ago for a right angled triangle, c^2 = a^2 + b^2

So, points of a box of unit length segments.....connect with max search distance as the hypotenuse of said triangle.

result...what the expletives ??? How did it connect from top right down to bottom ?

(even longer, it connected front bottom left corner to top right back corner !)

aha!!! gotcha ya bastard...must be the assumed point radius of 1...if I make my box of 2 unit length segments...it sorts itself out somewhat

hmmm...so pscale does affect the result

search radius doesn't really represent radius, but half the radius for some reason

it does, it's a multiplier of a search radius

yeah this fineprint should be in BOLD i reckon (previous to this I've always assumed it's a true point to point search...now I have to think well how 'fat' are these points as well)
